A Plan For The World's Tallest Wood Skyscraper, Stockholm Sweden

[BCell]

Watch as the wood start to rot and warp by fungus and mildew. Plus wooden building can never last a century. Name one wooden building that was build over a 1000 years ago and still standing today

Watch as you can buy the kits for this from ikea in a few years. Oh and it will probably be a bitch to maintain, termite infestation, fire, wood going bad, it will be fucking dangerous to live there in a few decades.

This made me chuckle
[QUOTE]The building wouldn't be made completely of wood: the architects are planning on giving the building a concrete core, and installing glass windows. Which is good, since I think wood windows are just called doors.[/QUOTE]

I think quite a few parts of Asia would like a word with you.

Spraying splinters to keep the fires out.

What.

[Van-man]

Got wood? :v:

[QUOTE=Complifused;41119711]If a fire broke out it wouldn't end well[/QUOTE]

Depends on the type of wood, and if they've treated with some sort of chemical compound first.

The practice of constantly outdoing other nations for the worlds tallest building has to stop eventually.

Is Norway trying to 1up Sweden for "most IKEA sounding names"?

Make it out of Asbestos, Let those Gävle vandals try and torch it then

Switzerland = Knives and Clocks
Sweden = Flat pack furniture and Volvo's

Sorry, bad joke.

To talk about the building, though, I'd say there has to be a lot of fail-safes on that building before I'd step foot in it.

It's a cool idea, though. Not many wooden skyscrapers.

Actually I think it's the other way around.
