Construction of buildings can be greener and wood offers a set of advantages and benefits that were ignored for years. For example, the production of timber beams and pillars requires a fraction of the energy (15%) than that of their steel equivalents.
The construction of tall buildings from wood is probably as old as humanity. 1,400 years ago, the Japanese built multi-storey pagodas that are still standing today, defying weather conditions and earthquakes.
Until February of this year, the tallest wooden building in the world was the Brocks Commons Tallwood House, a student dormitory at the University of British Columbia designed by Acton Ostry Architects.
