This Chinese hotel, made from all prefabricated materials, was built in six days. According to the builders, there were no injuries and virtually no waste, due to the prefab materials.
There are buildings in my neighborhood that have been under construction six years, let alone six days.
Yes, that was it. Like in the Genesis. Six days. Completed on June 11 2010.
That's how long it took to build this level 9 Earthquake-resistant, sound-proofed, thermal-insulated 15-story hotel in Changsha, complete with everything, from the cabling to three-pane windows. The foundations were already built, but it's just impressive.

The wonders of prefabricated construction modules and modern construction techniques will never cease to amaze me. I just can't understand why every single building is not pre-made in factories first, for optimal energy, material and time savings, not to talk about a more efficient and cheaper end result and, in the case of the Ark Hotel, only 1% construction waste.
