A Wooden Skyscraper,

I was not sure I had read that correctly, 

imagery is courtesy of MGA. but I had!, Vancouver studio Michael Green Architects (MGA), has released plans for a development in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, that would be the tallest mass-timber skyscraper in the world when completed,

Michael Green Architecture's plans for the development include office space, retail, hotel, residential and public plazas, current renderings for the development show a 55-storey tower made principally from mass-timber elements, as it happens it would unseat the 86.6 meters (284 feet), Ascent tower by Korb + Associates Architects, the current tallest, which is also in Milwaukee, 

MGA explained that smaller cities can have unique opportunities to put sustainable development into practice, creating models for larger urban centres to follow, noting that larger cities like Chicago are less willing to experiment when it comes to materials, "It is ambitious projects like this that show how smaller cities are now poised to surpass the once-dominant capitals that shaped our skylines a century ago," said Green, who added that the project would use "as much wood as possible", but the details of the concrete or steel usage haven't been decided yet, a wooden skyscraper, I just hope there are not termites living nearby!
