Curious, what about resistance to earthquakes?
The region where I'm from is at high risk, so it's common knowledge that you want quite a bit of (steel?) mesh to help the concrete building withstand earthquakes, but I see none here.
The structure also looks like it has big empty walls, are those empty just for pipes and whatnot, or is that going to be filled? I don't see filling in the video so I assume it's not going to be filled.
Still, cool video.
