Design of world’s tallest wood skyscraper would be more sustainable than steel alternative

Architecture firm C. F. Møller has proposed building the tallest wooden building in the world in Stockholm, Sweden. The design calls for a 34-story wooden skyscraper that would stand 28 stories taller than the United States’ tallest wooden structure. The building, constructed from wooden pillars, walls, beams and ceilings—encompassed within a glass shell—would be better for the environment compared to steel-and-concrete construction, the designers say. The structure would have a concrete core.
