Introduction Wood is an essential construction material that galvanizes every state-of-the-art used in a constructed structure (Yan 2011). Wood is a powerful construction substance that can be important in designing, modifying, and restructuring modern structures. A timber material that seems always forgotten and its capability doubted is the Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT), which is an engineered timber that has gained considerable fame in Canada, North America, and the United States (Yan 2011). The solid, perfectly prefabricated, and the engineered wood panel is capable of making enormous buildings including skyscrapers as it ensures the rigidity and stability required for human activities (Harris 2012). Although its perfection in the construction industry is an unprecedented success, the use of cross-laminated timber in construction continues to be a subject of public and engineering discourses. About such issues, this essay seeks to present a literature and artifacts review about cross-laminated timber and its use in the construction of wooden skyscrapers. Structural issues associated with CLT: Resilience and Stability When Architect Michael Green ventured into the idea of creating cross-laminated timber and suggested several significances about the newly engineered wood material, people thought it was a useless idea (Gagnon & Pirvu 2011). One of the disturbing factors that continually causes discourses among the engineers is the resilience and stability of the wooden skyscrapers constructed from the cross-laminated timber. Many remarkable houses ranging from residential buildings to commercial buildings have established that cross-laminated timber has several advantages that it can offer to the global construction realm. According to Mohammad, Gagnon, Douglas, and Podesto (2009), cross-laminated timber is an efficient construction material because of its dimensional stability that allows for the construction of long floor slabs that are wide and constructible in single flats that have long walls. From the perspective of a wooden skyscraper, this characteristic makes the wooden flats highly rigid and structurally stable. This innovation is actually unimaginable in the construction world. Despite its resilience and stability in ensuring that, buildings are serving residential and commercial purposes; a growing concern is associated with the concept of stability that the multi-layer wooden panels can offer (Schmidt & Griffin 2009). Although the cross lamination innovation provides the dimensional and structural ability in all directions of a building due to the availability of the strong fasteners that come from that traditionally and modernly designed techniques, the strength and the lifetime resilience of the towers made from the cross-laminated timber is doubtable (Lam & Haukaas 2010). From an engineering perspective and from the established scientific facts from the forestry departments, wood is generally an easily decaying structural material that rarely offers any optimal resilience to either a commercial or a residential building (Schmidt & Griffin 2009). This worry has gone beyond the public and the people who are venturing into the real estate business, where the safety of the residential clients’ matters. Most criticizers of the cross-laminated timber innovation state that wood is normally an impoverished structural
