Question Could this be the new worlds tallest building?




It's name is Sky City and is planned to be constructed in the Chinese city of Changsha.

Oh, and construction apparently starts this month...and will be done by March

It's crazy how quick they go up in China. Though, it will only be the tallest for a year or so, Kingdom Tower in Jeddah will start construction soon, and is planned to be 1km high.

I've heard of this before I think! I vaguely remember Gizmodo doing an article on a skyscraper being built this quickly. They mentioned another building that the same company built even faster -finds-.

Either way this is insane omg.

EDIT: Found it. I won't post the article (it's a bit long) but it has loads of interesting facts about it all. http://gizmodo.com/5962070/china-wil...n-just-90-days.
