    30-storey mega hotel built is 15 days

    In 2010, the same firm built a 16-storey residential block in only five days.
    Impressive, but what's the rush?

    Much quickness, plenty cheapness.

      Nice. I wonder how close we are to seeing modular housing where you don't move into a new house but take it with you and just pay for the plot which already has the required facilities plumbed in.

      I predict if this isn't already available then someone will come up with a design where each room in a house is a module and you can put them together however you wish, lego style.

      Need a two bed flat, bang two bedroom, 1 living room, one kitchen, one bathroom module onto the top of the existing block, than a flat roof on top until the next layer is built. Be a bit of a pain moving if you were in the middle of the stack though.

      Anyone patented this idea yet?

                    I think this happens with floating houses around the Vancouver area, flood resistant too if the pipes are long enough.
                    Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson
