theweekmagazine: A Chinese sustainable-building firm built this entire 30-story hotel in 15 days. That’s a mere 360 hours. The Ark hotel was built at a fraction of normal Chinese construction costs, with no worker injuries. And the building isn’t flimsy: It is built to withstand a 9.0-magnitude earthquake, and energy-efficient to boot. Watch the time-lapse video of the hotel’s construction. The future of skyscrapers, indeed!
