It's hardly "regular wood" though, as the structure mentioned was constructed using a specific kind of engineered compressed wood:

> In 2018, [Liangbing] Hu's laboratory reported that partially removing lignin from natural wood and then compressing the remaining cellulose under heat produced a material roughly three times denser than the original timber and an order of magnitude stronger in bending and tension.[2] The material was commercially named Superwood.

No, it was glulams, CLT, and LVLs. Nothing compressed particularly hard, just enough for the glue to hold.
