THE ACCOUNTS

These Accounts Document A Collection Of Inspiring Things For/from My Thesis (September 2009-April 2010). If you type "thesis idea" in the search engine, you'll get the gist of what I worked on! You can also check out my personal blog - bjornsrandoms.tumblr.com
ryanpanos: World’s Tallest Skyscraper To Be Built…In 90 Days China is well known for its mind-bogglingly fast-paced construction, but its latest claim is truly one for the record books. Sky City, an 838-meter (2,750-ft) building to be built by Chinese construction company Broad Sustainable Building (BSB), of  Broad Group, will not just be the tallest skyscraper on the planet, won’t just be “earthquake-proof,” won’t just implement a sustainable design approach – it will go up in only 90 days. Skeptical? BSB isn’t. They’ve used their building technique (which involves pre-fabricating and assembling up to 95% of the materials in modular form before construction even begins) to assemble a 15-story building in 6 days and a 30-story hotel in 360 hours, CNN reports. As for safety concerns, BSB has built a 30-story prototype that withstood a simulated magnitude 9 earthquake — whether the 220-story Sky City will be as secure remains to be seen, but BSB certainly seems confident.
