I have always said the Japanese have processes down to an art, hence they appear very mechanic. I give the edge to these Asians in the race towards man becoming machines .
In Jamaica, we are all too familiar with buiildings associated with the Jehovah's wintnesses faith being put up in a matter of weeks sometimes days...almost overnight. Other places there are agencies that make houses in record time for example, Habitat for Humanity.
When was the last time you saw a house come in a box?
Toyota's Ready to Assemle Homes. On route to the train station I pass a quite a few dwellings, however one morning I saw that a house was being demolished. It was nicely surrounded and was being taken apart bit by bit but quite methodically. The following day, there was no evidence that a house once stood there. The plot remained vacant for about a week, when on another trek to the station I saw it was surrounded once again and a truck was removing boxes, two days later there was a structure up and a sign that read Toyota Homes.
There is more to be done to make it liveable, like moving in furniture, creatring the essentail rock garden and other little tid bits but all in all, I think they just glued and screwed and nailed stuff together, not a hint of concrete.
To the untrained eyes, it looks like concrete, but on further inspection, it seems more like a derivative of plastic. It stands up to mother nature's mood swings as was evidenced Sunday March 20, 2005. And its pretty!
