Would pillow fort engineering become a more serious field?

    Tall skyscrapers wouldn’t be a thing. I think we’d see more buildings with Pentagon-like proportions.

    Wood is one of those materials. If it’s soft and squishy as lumber, it follows that the trees it is cut from would be likewise. So, no super tall trees.

      As others here say, we would modify the materials to fit our purpose. There are some increasingly tall buildings made from wood, I saw some neat YouTube videos about them and how they process the wood and press layers together to improve strength.
