    Sustainability is a big buzzword in modern architecture – and not just when building the world’s tallest wooden skyscraper. According to the Green Building Council – an authority on sustainable buildings and communities in Australia – the built environment accounts for nearly 40% of “global energy related carbon emissions,” with materials and construction alone accounting for 11% of that global total. But once a recently approved residential high-rise in Perth, Australia, is erected, there will be no mistaking how central sustainability was to the project. Why? Because it would stand as the tallest wooden skyscraper in the world.

    Envisioned by an Australian architecture firm, C6 (the project’s name, which is derived from its location at 6 Charles Street) aims to incorporate hybridized timber not just for floor paneling, but as an essential structural element throughout all of its 50 stories, making up a substantial amount of the project’s total materials. As a result, the architecture firm claims that C6 will use “around 45% less concrete than a traditional building of a similar scale”.

    There’s no timeline for the completion of C6 just yet. But don’t be surprised if this landmark inspires other sustainable-minded architects to eclipse its benchmark by the time residents are moving in.
