Six days. That’s how long it took to build this level 9 Earthquake-resistant, sound-proofed, thermal-insulated 15-story hotel in Shanghai, complete with everything, from the cabling to 3-pane windows. The principles were already built, but it surely’s just impressive.
The wonders of prefabricated construction modules and modern construction techniques will never cease to amaze me. I just can’t understand why every single building just isn’t pre-made in factories first, for optimal energy, material and time savings, not to discuss a more efficient and cheaper final result and, thus, only one% construction waste.
