It's supposedly a work of art. Kind of cool from an engineering point of view but it must have cost an awful lot of money and is really quite useless. I guess they did it because they could.

Hopefully, the motor will break on the coldest day next winter while it's "open" and then they'll realize what a colossal waste of money that was!

The University of South Carolina (The Original USC) built a high-rise building with a rotating restaurant on the top floor when I was still a student there in the late 60's.

The mechanism came from a structure at a world's fair (in Seattle IIRC) that was torn down after the fair ended.

There are many things that could be rotated in Liverpool but that wall is the last thing.
Rain in England yes and Liverpool has the 10x rate.

Nothing like letting a little smog in during the middle of the work day.
