‘Not sure about replacements, but if I were to attempt a repair I’d use epoxy to glue the pieces back together, then glue a reinforcement band over top the broken area. A bamboo band, stained to match, might not look too bad.

>The tower uses a new technology called mass timber. In this kind of construction, massive, manufactured wood elements that can extend more than half the length of a football field replace steel beams and concrete. Though still relatively uncommon, it is growing in popularity and beginning to pop up in skylines around the world. >Mass timber is an appealing alternative to energy-intensive concrete and steel, which together account for almost 15 percent of global carbon dioxide emissions. Though experts are still debating mass timber’s role in fighting climate change, many are betting it’s better for the environment than current approaches to construction.
