I would set an Architectural competition for a design using glulam beams for a spacious airy design, like wot the Medevial craftsmen would have done like a shot, if they had had our materials and technology.
Or simply glulam the Oak into the sizes needed to recreate the medevial beams and woodwork.

Have you seen French hyper/super markets?
The French are years ahead with that stuff.
Hardwood forests are growing considerably faster than being cut down.
In the uk if you want a 50' x18"x18" you buy it from France.
They have the timber.

 False equivalence, I said some buildings are worth dying for .. ie some building are more important than people..  take Notre Dame for instance..  all over the news, now if your house burned down no one would give a monkeys...

 

I dare say if a rampaging mob was set on burning your house down you'd rope in a few friends to defend it..  if a mob was set on burning down the houses of Parliament there'ed be an army ready in waiting....   

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Would you give up your life if it meant Notre Dame wouldn't have burned Vesp? Buildings are just wood, stone and mortar. Life is all we really have...

As Micheal Angelo once said, for the paint, a few pennies..  for the talent?....

 

Just a bunch of stone and mortar you say!!!...   

 

 

Don't firemen put their lives on the line to save buildings?....

First priority is to save any people in them .

The guy who led the last first aid course I was on was a watch commander in the fire brigade. The stuff he was saying about zoning and prioritising of calls was canny harrowing. We really need public services to work. Grenfell should have never happened. So aye, sprinklers in buildings with anything valuable in it sounds like a good plan to me.
