Some of the few buildings that resisted the Lisbon’s 1755 earthquake had a wooden cage structure.

Reconstruction immediately after the earthquake saw a generalised adoption of this type of architecture.

Yeah only then. Nowadays the city has basically no anti sismic construction so Lisbon is just a city waiting to be destroyed by a similar earthquake.

Maybe will happen to be that old constructions will survive while new ones wont...

Seems like a wooden precursor to rebar now.

no. its a secondary structural system, not a composite material, so its basically something completely different.
