Yeah, ok, somewhat more than a fortnight, but I struggled with math from an early age

I reckon their fast growing economy inspired them to thinking something had to be improvised or invented to spend up construction.

Wow nice. Earthquake resistant up to a 9.0 quake? That's pretty good.

That's pretty cool

I don't think I'd step foot in that building.

Wow, this is embarrassing to Devon. I hope OKC can attempt to compete.

No it's not. This building is done with modular construction. The Devon building has a more unique shape to it that wouldn't really allow it to be done using pre-constructed modules. Think of it as buying a house that is prefab versus building a custom design.
