"Guess this place is a good as any to express my found love for the material."

I agree with you but I would point out that the buildings and their "wood"
materials that the article discusses are really not anything like what you
worked with.

The article speaks about wood and trees and "timbers" but these building
materials are engineered panels and timbers that, while in many cases
_actually stronger_ than their "real wood" counterparts, do not have the
aesthetics you remember.

I would go so far as to suggest that they are moving not from concrete to wood
construction, but from concrete to _glue_ construction.

Ah, good clarification, indeed I mostly used pinewood for inside and Azobe and
Meranti for outside (though some composite for the parts we walk on). But The
pleasure was mostly from being able to drills holes and put screws in with a
light cordless drill and saw it in the right shape either by hand or a light
jig saw. It's carry-able and still very strong. I guess this also applies to
the used composite materials your describe?

Wood is a very cool material! But I would be nervous living in a tall building
made out of it, because of its flammability. Maybe if all the wood buildings
also have sprinkler systems, that would offset the risks.

Our building is a concrete building about fourteen stories tall. The
information we received as part of the lease tells us that it's known as a
non-flammable building, and supposedly the safest thing to do if there is a
fire on another floor is to shelter in place. I doubt the same would be true
in any wood building.

Oh, and apparently the article also speaks to this:

> It’s also this heft that helps make CLT fire-resistant: the outside layers
> char slowly, protecting the wood inside from burning.

appreciate wood as a building material. impregnable, very well made into the 
 required condition, comfortable to attach to each other, easy to bind other things 
 to... I constantly felt wood was " how we use to do it "... not anymore. 

 Guess this seat is a commodity as any to express my found beloved for the material.
