And the project has dragged out over 15 years, never really completed... in fact, it's been left so long in a halfway stage of construction, that it's actually starting to fall apart, much to the consternation of city officials and neighbours. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.2/10 - Popularity: 77% | Activity: 70% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Unique](https://www.trendhunter.com/unique) > [Bizarre](https://www.trendhunter.com/bizarre) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Sustainable Architecture:** Opportunity for eco-friendly and cost-effective building techniques using thin and inexpensive sticks of wood. - **Vertical Construction:** Potential for tall and innovative structures utilizing lightweight materials like sticks of wood. - **Renewable Construction Materials:** Emerging trend of using unconventional materials like sticks of wood for building purposes, offering new possibilities for sustainable construction. ### Where This Applies - **Construction:** Disruptive innovation opportunity to explore new methods of building using sticks of wood as a potential alternative to traditional construction materials. - **Architecture:** Opportunity for architects to design and construct tall and distinctive buildings by leveraging lightweight materials like sticks of wood. - **Sustainable Development:** Potential for incorporating renewable and eco-friendly construction materials, such as sticks of wood, into sustainable development projects. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Stilts-Reading Suspended Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-hole-with-the-house-around.md) - [Staggered Floor Modern Residences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/house-of-seven-floors.md) - [Staggered Cubic Skyscrapers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ooda.md) - [Mountainous Elliptical House](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/house-at-9000-feet.md) - [Prefabricated Exposed Structural Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-unfinished-house.md) - [Self-Designed Evolving Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/six-columns.md) - [White 3D-Printed Tower Buildings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tor-alva.md) - [Staggered Tower Texan Skyscrapers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/1550-on-the-green.md) - [Math Equation-Inspired Houses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/house-of-countless-windows.md)
