If this was created using recycled wood that would be great. However, the building appears to use a lot of wood which results in more deforestation. Did they plant trees to help offset the natural resources used?

This is a termites wet dream.

Wood as a building material, that's revolutionary! I'm so glad maybe now I can stop living in this dark dirty cave. What will they think of next maybe something round that helps move things? Maybe something hot that gives off light? Wait a minute what am I doing humans surely could not have developed a written language before building homes with words so... gfsdhjil aeuifhlzscvmbjhio sadikjdfgzl fgaop apui9grf

Looking forward to seeing all wood structures reach 30 stories and more. Nothing beats wood, natures material!

What percent of wood versus standard or traditional building materials, such as gyproc, plaster, paint.
What is the expected life span? No mention of surface finishes, fire retardants, or treaments of any kind?
What is wrong with using nails and screws, vesus wooden dowels.
How long does it take versus other contruction styles?
Still a lot of metal framing required for the glazing, elevator shafts in concrete, etc.

You can get away with being carbon neutral building a block or two but if the idea catches on, how many more can you build before it becomes carbon negative as I doubt you can plant enough to keep pace.
Won't protecting the wood from termites and fire neutralize any cost savings? Maybe, it for wood lovers only.

How is building with wood green????? Cement last a long time, can be made by burning waste and steel can be made by electricity generated by nuclear power plants.

In the long run I think concrete would use less carbon assuming the building lasts that long.
@ Nick Aspinwall Deforestation is mostly caused by subsistence farming. The people who own the land the harvested trees was on usually replant behind them.

Makes me think Great fire of London...

Wood is carbon fibre, so where exactly does carbon become neutral? Underground carbon in the form of petrified oil will mutate sooner or later according to natural process. It will enter the atmosphere whether we burn it or let it rot...same as wood.
Current priests offer prayers to stop the sky falling... backed up with earth money...yet the sky obeys natural process regardless of prayers nor supplications.
