Let’s say that you’re looking at condos in Miami, and you notice that price tags are lower for units without water views. And let’s say that 10 days later a friend of yours in New York boasts that her unit is the only one in a high rise with spectacular views of both the Hudson River and the East River. What would you do?

If you were David Fisher, you would think, hmm, if all the floors of a building were to spin, everyone could have a great view. You’d then patent the idea, and put together a team that actually has some expertise in designing skyscrapers, since you yourself have none.

Then you’d find a location where someone would actually be interested in constructing such a building. Say, Dubai.
