China builds buildings with black technology that lasts up to 1,000 years

An 11-storey building was erected in less than 29 hours in Changsha, China, marking a global first. This rapid construction was made possible by the Hunan Yuanda Technology Group's use of stainless steel instead of reinforced concrete. This modular building, often referred to as a 'living building', can reportedly be assembled and disassembled easily, and is built to last a thousand years. The technology combined prefabrication methods with easy site assembly, facilitating faster construction times. Not only is the structure resistant to physical stresses like earthquakes and typhoons, but it also possesses excellent thermal insulation properties. This method of construction greatly reduces carbon emissions and is cost-effective due to large scale material purchasing and increased factory production efficiency. Despite potential skepticism concerning the stability and durability of such structures, this innovation demonstrates China's continuous advancement in the construction industry.

Thanks for this valuable info; China's infrastructure and building technologies are very advanced - a miracle in-itself.

Yuanda and Broad have developed a alternative to the widely adopted reinforced concrete structure. Stainless steel structures are excellent material to attenuation to vibration, oscillation, hurricane and earthquake. Double glazing, curtain walling and external cladding are well suited to this type of prefabrication. MEP and aircon services are easily accommodated. The Continuous Innovation of Broad and Yuanda has to be admired as progressive alternative building solutions to human habitation. Keep the good work going Yuanda and Broad. JiaYu

Unbelievable. All I can say is Go China. 🎉🎉🎉❤❤😊😊

this can solve US homeless problem in a month. They will have a apartment to live in 2 days.

These are almost like interlocking blocks. Each block would be a structural element transfer vertical load to the foundation. But remodeling would be very limited since all walls are probably considered structural elements.

[@leoncioco3305]

Sound like affordable leaving to me.

[@antonywooster6783]

This looks very exciting. The flats look great. The "proof of the pudding is in the eating". I hope that a few years from now we will hear from the residents, how well they like living in it. I hope the calculations as to how the building stands up to earthquakes are correct, but though I would not wish such an earthquake on anybody, it would be very good to see a building of this construction that had actually been though such a test. In the UK, we have had some very bad experiences with prefabricated, reinforced concrete structures; for example a 22-storey block of flats in London callled "Ronan Point" where a domestic gas explosin blew out a load-bearing wall, of a ground floor flat and all the storeys above it fell into the resulting hole. I think that in addition to some over-optimistic calculations, there were also some issues of corner-cutting and bad workmanship behind the disaster.

..."use of stainless steel instead of reinforced concrete"

[@antonywooster6783]

@@linnyschlamm3310 I do not understand the significance of this "orphan phrase".

[@morninboy]

I am curious how well the sound proofing works. Mass is the best thing to absorb sound

[@christianvanderstap6257]

They should design a detached version and a row housing version. You should be able to sell that all over Europe, if the politicians let you.

[@realfacts7763]

Genius China! Thank you for this amazing video! Why is this called black technology? Just curious.

[@jason-us8pc]

THE QUESTION THAT IS NOT ASKS - A building of this size should attract government licensing and approval not only in China but if the builder wants to build it elsewhere have they collected approval credential certification for building authority elsewhere?

[@preciousreading1934]

I want to build mine with this way.

[@tonym842]

How about sound and thermal insulation? Otherwise, looks fantastic.

[@roshanchapagain5335]

Y provide this tech to other country. Is it cheaper than cement house?

[@parttimethinker7611]

Love to live in such apartment or flat.

[@linnyschlamm3310]

I am impressed and hope that Germany follows this example and allows more technical progress from outside and a housing mix. After all, we are missing hundreds of thousands of apartments. We also need more affordable condominiums.

[@christianvanderstap6257]

How long did it take to prepare the foundation?

[@michaelpefkos6322]

Can you please send the website of the company that make this construction.

[@kimberlygraves8053]

interesting. I'd like to see how modules are connected, water, electricity, etc.. a floor plan would be nice, and knowing how long it takes to manufacture a module.

[@macreno]

Wow...

[@are3na126]

Someone Said A Chinese Miracle wow since when did TOFU-dreg become a Miracle

[@halinaleonowicz8038]

Nothing wrong with the concept itself but implemented into monstorous size of urban setting is not anybody dream. Some people only realize it later as imagination skills are in decline in todays age of IT "thinking for you " 🤔

[@allenng2471]

This is a great innovative building developed by Chinese engineers. This is the method to provide housing shortages in the US for the middle income families. However, the unions must buy into this.

[@syarizansulaiman6554]

Surely this can bring to moon 🌚🌝

[@TSS-yy5tx]

Great to push for carbon free industries for future progress.👍

[@barrycook5607]

Stainless Steel is more carbon producing than concrete and/or wood!

[@cosmoray9750]

What is " buildings with black technology that " ? 🤔 I think it meant " block "......

[@GeoT91]

I think it's a literal translation issue. The term for [sci-fi?] technology in Chinese is like a compound word "black+technology". It's like the term black magic in English.

[@glentanner4770]

Just another Ghost building. 1000 years? Please. It's already starting to fall apart , just like all the other infrastructure.

[@ivannightly1919]

Polysar Canada developed the same modular block buildings in the 70-80s it was a quick build system but like a container home your forced to design inside the dimensions of the block repeadly they couldn't sell it very easily

[@linnyschlamm3310]

In Canada, Bayer took over the Polysar Rubber Corporation, based in Toronto, in 1990. The most significant acquisition in the company's history to date... today the company is called Covestro AG. And I couldn't find anything about building houses and certainly no technology that could keep up with the technology the Chinese use today.

[@cameronwalker294]

hahaha. Sure thing. They cant make a building that will last for 10 years but now you claim this. hahaha

[@linnyschlamm3310]

As you probably know, yesterday's technology is not tomorrow's technology.

[@z_zin]

Made in CHINA ... with 1,000 years ,,, warranty ... seriously !!!!!!!!

[@johnfurey936]

There’s a big difference between built in 29hrs and been assembled in 29hrs

[@climate-civilizations]

Mostly 3D animations and graphics, AI voice, bad English and fast changing pictures. Doubt this really exist.

[@truthseeker1278]

Cheap, fast and strong may be all right. But why for heaven's sake do they "have 2B" so darn ugly?!

[@linnyschlamm3310]

Ugliness is in the eye of the beholder and is therefore not a standard.

[@shawnsmith524]

I am glad i dont live in China i would not feel safe sleeping in a building that was made in 29 hours

[@tonym842]

It has been tested to magnitude 9 on the Richter scale!

[@ikafmedia2007]

😂😂😂 .... Hahaha, but you won't prefer a truck for a journey instead of high speed train.

[@isuruthiwanka2595]

So U can go to a den in jungle.🤭🤭 You would feel safety more. Stupid western robots used to live in Hollywood movies🤭

[@zfwang231]

Good, enjoy your cardbox.

[@massivecumshot]

No one cares about your 'feelings'. The facts of technology don't wait until you're ready to accept them.
