The Case for Tall Wood Buildings [2] [3] is a case study on using materials such as cross-laminated timber panels and engineered glulam wood beams to build skyscrapers as tall as 30 storeys, originally prepared in 2012 by Green, Equilibrium Consulting, LMDG Ltd. and BTY Group.[4] [5] Green also coauthored Tall Wood Buildings: Design, Construction and Performance, which was published by Birkhäuser in 2017.[6] [7] In March 2020, Birkhäuser published the second and expanded edition of this book.[8] [9] In 2013, Green gave a TED talk titled “Why we should build Wooden Skyscrapers’.[10] In 2014, Green received an honorary doctorate degree from the University of Northern British Columbia.[11]

Green’s architecture firm Michael Green Architecture designed the seven-story T3 building in Minneapolis, which was built using 3,600 cubic metres of wood, and is intended to sequester about 3,200 tonnes of carbon for the life of the building.[14] [15]
