"Michael
Green Architecture (MGA) just unveiled a proposal for a carbon neutral
wooden skyscraper in Paris that, if constructed, will be the world’s
tallest wood building," according to a post on Inhabitat.
"Created in collaboration with DVVD and real estate developer REI France, the wooden skyscraper—dubbed the Baobab—was designed as part of the city’s Réinventer Paris,
a competition seeking innovative and environmentally friendly urban
projects. The designers estimate the 35-story wood high-rise could
sequester 3,700 metric tons of carbon—an amount equivalent to keeping
2,207 cars off the road for a year."
Michael Green Architecture is also the design force behind the T3 project in Minneapolis, which would build a seven-story, 210,000-square-foot office building made entirely of wood.
