Termites, fire-prone, highly work-intensive maintenance-wise.
Just three examples why "highrise" wood structures should not be considered.
Interesting exercise, tho.
But with future hybridization in genetics and farming, who knoww what they will come up with.
I think some sort of plastic structure is much more likely than wood.
I didn't even realize until a few years ago that the "periodic table" of elements has increased so much siince I was in school, so who knows what new element/material will be created in the future.
Plas-steel, a combo of concrete/steel/plastic? All I know is we'll all be pleasantly surprised...
