now it looks like milwaukee's bigger woody than cleveland's is a go. at least the cle will hold the crown for a few months tho lol: https://urbanmilwaukee.com/2020/09/2...-timber-tower/ Intro: 9-story 350,000-square-foot 290 units (retail base and underground parking) https://forum.urbanohio.com/uploads/...bd8b37774.jpeg Ascent: 25-story 284 ft tall 493,000-square-foot 259 units (Topping out at 283 feet, the building would surpass the 280-foot Mjos Tower in Norway. Ascent will include a six-story concrete base used as a parking garage.) https://forum.urbanohio.com/uploads/...058b90d241.jpg and yes it counts even if its all not wood. :shrug: |
Is it just me or is this not "just" wood. Seems to me that combining wood in layers with adhesive would make it much stronger while making it more resistant to burning.

tokyo had plans for a big wood tower project in 2018, i wonder if that is still a go?
