Wood as a building material has been used for architecture for many years, and it is a renewable resource as well as a resource that is not as harmful to the environment as others can be. Sporre describes wood as being used for framing when it comes to domestic architecture. (94). The Metropol Parasol is a fairly recent famous wood building, and it shows how much architects have progressed when it comes to architecture along with the technology advancements. For example, this building has 3,400 wooden elements, and took from 2005 to 2011 to build. This building along with many others is something to be proud of because of how incredible the structure is, and although the climate in Spain is not extreme it was built to be able to stand even though it is not a typical square or rectangular shaped building.
