Jape, what was the doc you saw and is there anyplace to see it online?

Speaking of marvels of construction, did anyone click on this item in gizmag? (Mainland denizens will need a proxy tunnel, vpn or other grandma-flanker.)



Yes, there's a construction company in China that has actually built a 15-story hotel in 6 days. I'm not making this up.

Read details here in gizmag.

Despite lots of scary buildings and crap construction and virtually non-existent maintenance, China is getting very good at certain kinds of construction. But this approach takes a qualitative leap into another realm altogether. Are there companies elsewhere that build buildings this way? I'm no engineer, but this strikes me as pretty amazing.

cheers
