That's how long it took to build this earthquake-resistant, sound-proof, thermally-insulated 15-story hotel in Changsha, complete with everything, from cabling to three-pane windows.
The foundations were already built, but it's still 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 is not pre-made in factories first, for optimal energy, material and time savings, not to talk about a more efficient and cheaper end result and, in the case of the Ark Hotel, only 1% construction waste.
