05-01-2012 17:07 Some say that the tower crane operator has the most critical job in the construction of a high-rise building. At K2, a 34-story apartment tower under construction in Chicago's Fulton River District, Marie Spear is half of the team that operates the tower crane. She's a member of Operating Engineers Local 150. I've loaned Marie a camera and she has graciously agreed to shoot some photos and video to give you a sense of what she sees and hears from her perch in the sky. Marie climbs a series of ladders to reach the spot, more than 200 feet above the ground, from which these shots were taken. In the video you'll hear Marie communicating by radio with workers on the ground as the crane lowers a flying form for concrete into place. They also communicate via hand signals. Thanks, Marie.

19-12-2011 18:40 http://www.MaharishiVastu.org Pre-cast, all natural, self-insulating, liapor outside wall elements go up 15 minutes per panel at the construction site of the Maharishi Vastu seminar and apartment building, the so called "Maharishi Peace Palace" (Friedenspalast) in Erfurt, Germany. These wall elements have been developed by architect Christian Schweizer at MERU, Holland and are also known as the MERU Master Builder System. Traditional Vedic pilasters, arches, entablature, pinth and ornaments are part of the mold and therefore cast as part of the wall panel. No decorating necessary later (when usually the funds are up anyway), but all is there in the most efficient and most lasting way right from the beginning. This system is especially perfect for Maharishi Peace Palaces -- centers of knowledge and peace creating technologies, such as the Transcendental Meditation and its advanced programs.

11-01-2012 21:13 January 11, 2012 -- BEIJING -- A development firm in China has erected a 30-storey hotel in just 15 days, or 360 hours. The developer, Broad Group, came under the global spotlight last year when it built a 16-storey residential block in China in just five days. And their latest project, which is located in the south-central Chinese city of Changsha is no less impressive. The 'flat pack' skyscraper was 90% pre-constructed in factories and then put together onsite. It uses one-sixth the materials of a comparable facility and is also an extremely energy-efficient building, combining thermal insulation, triple pane windows, external solar shading, fresh air heat recovery, and LED lighting. It is also earthquake-proof and is said to be able to withstand tremors of up to 9.0. Having perfected their novel approach to construction the company now aims to build another 150 30-storey apartment buildings, hotels and offices in the same manner. It is hoped that the ability to build property so quickly will revolutionize areas where property is in short supply. The company believes that their approach could be used to quickly construct environmentally-friendly homes in over populated urban areas and could also be used in disaster relief to construct new buildings quickly and efficiently. No doubt some British builders could take a leaf out of Broad's book http://www.aplaceinthesun.com

There it has since remained, a part of the ancient area of Thessaloniki and now resting within the municipality of modern Thermaikos in the city Square of Antigoninon. It is an example of the Ionic style of architecture that was a trademark of ancient Greece during the 6th - 5th centuries The temple was first excavated in 1936, after which it fell off the map during the invasion and destruction of the Nazi occupation and subsequent postwar urban development. In 2000, excavations were renewed under the direction of well-known archaeologist A. Tassios in connection with the demolition of an apartment building that overlaid the remains. He uncovered the temple, Grecian-Roman statues, and architectural fragments, at least some of which are now exhibited in the Museum. Like many of ...
