The 366,000 square foot Huoshenshan Hospital, which was built in just 10 days to treat coronavirus patients, has been hailed a feat of design and engineering.

The hospital's design features, such as the use of negative air pressure, ensures that ventilated air flows into, but not out of, isolated wards.
