Chinese Firm Approved To Raise World's Tallest Building In 90 Days 307
kkleiner writes "The long anticipated Chinese construction project called Sky City, a 220-story building that can house 30,000 people, has finally received approval from the central government to break ground. The firm Broad Sustainable Building previously constructed a prefab 30-story building in 15 days, but for Sky City, they have an even more aggressive schedule: 90 days to build 2,750 feet into the air. Once completed, the building will be a place for people to both live and work, with recreational facilities, theaters, a school, and a hospital all within the structure."

Well that depends on how you calculate time doesn't it?
Time is a like a series of tubes, the more tubes you have, the faster time flows.

It would have been nice to provide european swallow wingspans in the summary in addition to the african swallow. Yes, I can go and convert them and so can others, but such accumulated waste of time could have been easily avoided.
