Wood structures apply the wrong constraints. Commercial lumber sells straight sticks and rectangular boards, and carpentry assembles a stud wall and places it before infrastructure goes in and drywall finishes it.
A steel-beam skeleton is more apt. The beams and pillars support the structure, and all the work from there goes over it. Altering the support to use mainly compression and little tension, over fewer stories, is doable in reasonably sized reinforced concrete members.
