@Zenstrive,
You might read Larry Niven's Ringworld. It's science fiction, but might give you some insights.

@Zenstrive,
It can rotate any direction it wants as long as it's not attached to the earth. Smile

@rosborne979,
Even it is attached to the earth, it can rotate in every direction, provided it's mounted on swivel joints:
