Just curious [member=64]PaulP[/member] , if the Oak came from plantations and not old growth forests would it be OK, even if those plantations are 100 or more years old, or is cutting down any living one hundred year old tree morally offensive?
If so where to on green sustainability, we are told these days to use wood, paper bags, paper straws, paper based cutlery, etc., etc.!
My first preference would be a worldwide architectural / engineering competition calling for inventive, innovative solutions that both reflect the contemporary situation and advance the discipline further. Failing that, using recycled wood would be a much better option. I'm sure the French government can marshall its considerable resources to source top notch recycled wood. This type of approach has the potential to achieve a domino effect, and become a touchtone, a reference project for how such issues may be handled in the future.
