　　(2024·四川宜賓五校調(diào)研)Anyone who’s heard the story of the three little pigs might have some reservations about the use of wood as a building material.gineers are reusing wood as a quick and eco-friendly solution to modern construction—and not just for pioneer-style log cabins.

　　The recent completion of an eight璼torey wooden office block in Austria and a nine璼torey housing block in London shows how the bu“wooden building” is fast becoming a reality.The LCT One building is a building made from both wood and concrete and designed by Austrian architectural firm Cree.

　　Cree claims that building the glulam (膠合層木)elements of the building off-site in advance cuts construction time by half；the raw material for wooden skyscraperss carbon from the air as it does so.

　　Nabih Tahan，an architect，said: “ We want to make buildings like car companies make cars，or computer companies make computers，using an industrial process and a system’s approach.To get good performance out of buildings，you can’t keep making them wildly piece by piece on site，cutting things in the rain.You need to design them right and have a step-by-step organized process.”

　　British architects Waugh Thistleton calculated that they avoided producing nearly 125 tons of carbon dioxide in building what is so far the world’s tallest modern wood structure，the nine-storey Stadthaus building.

　　Architects are now competing to build everhigher，evergreener wooden buildings.Already construction has begun on a 10-floor residential block made from LCT in Melbourne，Australia.However，building regulations threaten to nip the growth of wooden structures in the bud.

　　Many countries restrict the maximum height of wooden buildings.In Russia the limit is just four floors，in Canada it’s six，while in the U．S.and China it’s a mere five.
