When it comes to tall buildings, two materials, concrete and steel have been overused leaving little to zero space for more innovative infusion of other renewable materials. The floor and roof that help control solar access sections of the wooden skyscraper will be made out of mass timber panels (MTP) that give sidelong firmness as well as annihilate the requirement for surface finishing, and accommodate a lot of design opportunities for future wood construction within.

The confining framework empowers a more noteworthy exterior transparency, allowing natural light and extending the appearance with a low emissivity glass coating and misty timber screens.
#Wooden skyscraper code
Made entirely from cross-laminated timber (CLT) panels, even the elevator code which is generally made using concrete is being made from thick timber panels whose density and size can withstand proper fire rating characteristics. The state-owned project will likewise put up the University of Northern British Columbia’s Masters of Engineering program as well as provide space for private offices and public spaces. The six-storey structure will contain a mezzanine level, classrooms, offices and an open public gallery on the ground floor consecrated to the perceptible experience of wood, loungers, as well as a rooftop deck. With wood being a globally available renewable material, it will be promoted as a renewable source that will not only improve the local lumber economy but also stand as a pillar availing innovative outcomes in construction. The 27.5 meters, ‘Wood Innovation Design Center (WIDC)’ in Prince George, British Columbia will display wood as a sustainable building material and showcase its many fringe benefits. Since the British Columbia building code permits only a six-storey wooden structure, the building’s floor to floor heights have been boosted to make it taller than an average nine-storey structure. Vancouver architect, Michael Green long-time advocate of timber construction and the Canadian wood frame construction has proposed North America’s tallest ‘wooden’ skyscraper in a bid to change the face of sustainable architecture. Wood is indeed the most priceless asset for the people and the Earth since trees are self-regenerating like any crop and can absorb carbon dioxide as they grow. Just like snowflakes, no two pieces of wood can ever be the same on the planet. When it comes to ecological building materials, wood has its own class and nothing can be compared to it. The name of the building refers to the locomotives that were once built there.Wood is undeniably the eco-friendliest building material on the planet.

Rocket&Tigerli will not only be the 100 meter central tower, but also four smaller buildings and a square. For the finishes, red and yellow terracotta bricks will be used so that the structure harmonizes with the architecture that already exists in the place. The central structure of the building will be entirely of reinforced wood, which is not particularly flammable. The 100-metre-high tower, Rocket&Tigerli, is designed to create a framework for an active and attractive neighborhood, deeply rooted in the historical context of the area, offering high-quality, modern housing with maximum natural light.” The official website of the project explains: “In the next four years, the tallest residential building in the world with a load-bearing wooden structure will rise on the hills of the Swiss city of Winterthur, near Zurich. Wood is cheaper than concrete and has less impact on the environment, since more trees can always be planted to reforest. The building will be constructed by the Danish architectural firm, Schmidt Hammer Lassen, using reinforced timber. The so-called Rocket&Tigeli will be more than 100 meters tall and will tower over the Mjøstårnet tower in Brumunddal, Norway, by 14.6 meters. But in the small town of Winterthur, Switzerland, another type of great building is being built: it is a wooden skyscraper that aims to become the tallest of its kind in the entire world. Works like the impressive Burj Khalifa with its 828 meters high in Dubai.

It is 2022 and when we think of skyscrapers, images of imposing buildings built with rock and metal come to mind.
