really cool! I've been interested in mass timber as a building material for a couple of years now, it has a lot of potential as a replacement for steel and concrete, with the benefits of being carbon-negative and completely renewable. The world's tallest "plyscraper" is currently (as of 2022) the Ascent MKE building in Milwaukee Wisconsin at 284 feet tall and 25 stories[1]
