I read about dynamic architecture a few years ago, and the article said back then that there was one of these towers under construction in Dubai. According to the same article though, they claim these buildings can be completed in a fraction of the time it takes to construct a conventional building. Now, I don't claim to be a genius or anything, but I read the article at least 2 years ago, and I know a conventional building can be built in under 2 years, yet we have yet to see the completed version of one of these towers.....wtf? So, I guess we are not quite sure if this is for real or not....but man, I hope they are, because these are some neat buildings.

approximately 15 kilometers south into the Ganjgal Village, Kunar Province, Afghanistan, Embedded Training Team (ETT) 2-8, Regional Corps Advisory Command 3-7 joined together with elements of 1st Kandak, 2nd Brigade, 201st Corps of Afghan National Army (ANA) and 2nd Kandak of the Afghan Border Police (ABP) for a joint operation to conduct a key leader engagement with village elders to discuss security development plans. Marine ETT advisers were allocated in groups of four to pair with ANA/ABP forces. At the time, Sergeant (then-Corporal) Dakota L. Meyer was serving with his four-man ETT including 1st. Lt. Michael Johnson, Staff Sgt. Aaron Kenefick, and Petty Officer Third Class James Layton. The joint operation unit was organized into four elements: an observation post, a quick reaction force (QRF), a dismounted patrol and a security element at the objective rally point (ORP). Meyer was tasked to the security element at the ORP while his ETT team, now joined by Gunnery Sgt. Edwin Johnson, served as the forward element of the joint operation unit.
