Developments in Tall Wood and Hybrid Buildings and Environmental Impacts

Wood has been gaining popularity as a building material over the last few decades. There has been significant progress in technology during this period to push the limits of wood construction. At the same time, it has become more economically competitive to build with wood beyond low-rises. As a res...
