පැය 360කින් සදා නිම කල අහස සිඹින ගොඩ නැගිල්ල . තට්ටු 30 This time, the company has constructed a 30-storey, 17,000m2 hotel tower on the shores of the Dongting Lake in China’s Hunan Province in just 15 days. The building has been designed to withstand magnitude 9 earthquakes and is claimed to be five times more energy efficient than standard towers, both in construction and materials used, and in the energy required to maintain and run the building. The tower is designed around a reinforced steel core and uses a tapered steel frame to lock in the prefabricated steel decks for each of the floors. The decks, prepared beforehand offsite, contain all the plumbing, electrical wiring and other ancilliaries to enable swift assembly. The building is clad in 15cm glass curtain wall insulation, while a three-stage air purifying system filters the external air, making it 20 times more pure for hotel residents. The building was completed on December 31 – just 15 days, or 360 hours after construction commenced. Last year, the company built The New Ark Hotel, breaking construction records by starting with an empty plot in Changsha and leaving the site with a 50m tall building in just 136 hours. The frame of the 50m building - which is built to withstand a magnitude nine earthquake - took just 46 hours to put together, with the building enclosure taking another 90.
