A new housing complex planned in Astana, Kazakhstan's capital, is set to include a 1,000ft ski slope, running from the roof to the ground.
The proposed project was devised by a group of architects, led by Shokhan Mataibekov, who were inspired by Kazakhstan's exceedingly long, cold winter. [...]
Enter House Slalom, a multi-purpose, 21-storey building comprised of shops on the ground floor, 421 flats on the upper floors, and an outdoor ski slope running alongside the building.

holy ugly - not newsworthy.
looks like the project was designed by a student or a render farm place.
michael, you definitely called it long before them.
Yes I think so! thanks friend!
I think Nouvel stole this for the panopticon in Belgium.
Yes! Why don't any of these guys hire me to do this stuff??
