Recent technological developments have certainly allowed for more efficient building processes and materials. More and more architects now rally for timber instead of concrete and steel, persuaded by its proven success and in reaction to the ever-mounting issue of climate change at hand. But I still think people are skeptical when they hear about wood buildings and their safety.

I mentioned this article to my partner and the first thing he said was 'fire hazard'. I suspect you might be right.
