Abstract
The issue of designing and building unique structures made of wood is considered. The article highlights the domestic and international practices in the construction of unique structures and high-rise residential buildings made of wood and materials based on it (glued wood, wood composites, including CLT-panels, reinforced fibers and lamellas based on carbon, basalt and linen fibers, graphene films, etc). It is concluded that further study of this issue is necessary considering the properties of various wood composites, wood species, the nature of the adhesives from which they are made, strength monitoring data and other indicators of erected structures for a long time.
