In the course of our daily reporting, we often uncover unusual projects, places, or connections that don't make the final cut. Instead of keeping it to ourselves, we're pleased to share our daily architrivia.

Last week we took a look at Origine in Quebec City, which is set to become North America's tallest timber tower. A little digging revealed that the tallest all-wood building in the world is The Church of the Transfiguration at Kizhi Pogost in Russia. When we say all wood, we mean it; not a single nail was used in construction of the 37-metre, 22-dome church.
