World’s Tallest Timber Tower Proposed for Tokyo
Known as “plyscrapers,” several towers of wood are planned for development around the world. None impresses quite as much as Sumitomo Forestry’s 1,148-foot-tall and $5.6 billion project: the W350 tower. It’s slated to be the tallest wooden building in the world, and its construction will honor the company’s 350-year anniversary. Completion of the 70-story tower is expected in 2041. Green balconies will define the exterior, while the interior will be a 90% wood hybrid structure with steel vibration-control framework. Learn more and see all of the photos at CNN.
