Northern wood is durable and can be formed into many shapes

Wood is an ecological, environmentally friendly, and renewable natural resource. Forests are active carbon sinks that reduce carbon dioxide concentrations. Wood is also an excellent material from a design perspective, as it can be formed into many different shapes and can support both tall and heavy structures. As an organic material, wood is well suited to a very broad range of climatic conditions, from harsh northern winters to the southern sun and humid coastal areas.
