Ep. 11: Tour 11-Story Tower Built in a Day (in Changsha, China) // The Essential Housing Campaign

For more information: https://housinginnovation.co/design/1... Juliet Jiang SVP of Broad Building Systems (Broad Group) Based in Hunan Province of China, Broad Building System has recently completed over 60 high rise projects across China and South Korea. Several of their latest high-rise projects have used Broad’s latest generation “B-core” modular framing and flooring stainless steel building material – a lower cost version of NASA’s honeycomb stainless steel used for space shuttles, using two stainless steel plates sandwiched with thin tubes. Lightweight and durable, the B-core plates can be assembled rapidly on-site, greatly accelerating high rise development. The 11-story “Garden A #1 Model Tower” – built with a new module design to fit on trucks and into shipping containers for long-range transportability – is currently showcased in Broad Group’s campus in Changsha, China to prospective developers. Presented as part of The Essential Housing Campaign, a community-building campaign, led by The Housing Innovation Collaborative, to build more housing for our essential workers in the communities they serve, in Los Angeles and beyond. 0:00 Hook 0:55 Introduction 2:22 Company background 4:40 Factory 5:17 Building technology b-core 5:54 What makes building different? 6:40 Building façade 6:56 Bay windows 8:03 Front door 8:32 Inside apartment - living room 9:22 Bedroom 10:10 Price 10:40 Second bedroom 10:49 Bathroom 10:57 Rooftop 11:16 Plans for larger community 11:33 Sales pipeline 11:43 Production capacity 12:19 Timeline of production 13:25 Challenges of building in new markets 14:36 Green design aspects 15:05 Conclusion
