A LUXURY HOTEL BUILT 90 METERS BELOW GROUND In Shanghai, engineers constructed the InterContinental Shanghai Wonderland inside an abandoned quarry — building downward instead of upward.

Engineering turned excavation into elevation. #EngineeringPost #MegaEngineering #ChinaArchitecture #InnovativeDesign #LuxuryBuild #Shanghai | Engineering Post
