Building a 30-story hotel in 15 days... time-lapse video

This comes via BoingBoing, which notes that the same company is apparently planning to attempt to build the world's tallest building and build all 220 floors in only 90 days. Would be nice if all construction went this fast. The Japanese seem pretty good at fast construction as well, rebuilding a freeway in 6 days.

The building in the video above seems to be a bit more prefab than I'd generally expect for construction - but that might not be a bad thing. The builder claims that it can withstand a magnitude 9 earthquake while having a lot of environmentally friendly features as well).
