Sploid reader Xian Min Zhang sent us the latest
time-lapse video of the construction of his latest building: A 57-floor
2-million-square-foot (180,000-square-meter) skyscraper fully built with
energy-efficient, factory-produced Lego-like blocks. He claims that they are
now building these at a record three floors per day!
The company keeps increasing their building speed and size of
these buildings at an impressive rate. It is still not the 220-story skyscraper they claimed they were
going to build, but it is amazing nonetheless.
This
building has 19 10-meter-high atriums, 800 apartments, and office space for
4,000 people. Zhang claims that the use of modules reduced the use of concrete
by 15,000 trucks, which he says almost eliminated all the release of dust in
the air, an important advantage in pollution-ridden China. Talking about
pollution: He claims that all of the air inside is 99.9% pure thanks to the
tight construction and built-in air conditioning system. The building has
quadruple-pane glass and, he says, is so energy efficient it will save 12,000
tons of CO2 emission compared to a building of the same size and use.
