Architects want to build an 80-story skyscraper in Chicago made entirely from wood — take a look
Most skyscrapers are behemoths of steel, glass, and reinforced concrete.
As part of an ongoing project, researchers at Cambridge University, architects at Perkins + Will, and engineers at Thornton Tomasetti are proposing a timber skyscraper, called the River Beech Tower, in Chicago, Illinois.
The team sees the wooden tower concept as an especially sustainable type of architecture since the material is renewable.
Take a look at their proposal below.

The River Beech Tower would be located along the Chicago River, according to Andy Tsay Jacobs, director of the Building Technology Lab at Perkins + Will.
The 80-story skyscraper, made entirely from wood, would feature an intricate facade ...
... and serve as an office building.
