The 29-storey WoHo tower, to be designed by a firm of Norwegian architects, is intended to be a light-house project for low-carbon construction, towering over Potsdamer Platz and the Landwehr Canal. Its core, including lifts and staircase, is to be built around steel-reinforced(加固) concrete structure but the rest of the building, including flats, offices, cafes and a kindergarten, will be fashioned down wooden beams(横梁) and panels. As Norwegians, we are used to working a lot with timber. Nicolai Riise, CEO of the Mad Architects Practice said. The thing about timber is that its carbon footprint is close to zero and that its fantastic material to build with. If you look at this in a broader way, its one of the ways we are going to be able to beat the climate crisis. Wooden skyscrapers, once regarded as a pipe dream, have become realistic with the coming of cross-laminated-(交叉叠合) building techniques. Because these structures parts are fit with care, they can be far lighter than their concrete equivalents(同等物) and are thought to be relatively resistant to fire. A cubic meter of wood can also take an estimated ton of carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere. Larger wooden structures are planned elsewhere. London is examining blueprints for a 300-meter Oakwood Tower. A project in Tokyo could rise to 350m. （1）What is special about the WoHo Tower? A.It will serve as a light house.
