  Idea  so the building would be unburnable like the Titanic was unsinkable.

Ultimately, everything can burn.  And in a concrete building, even if the concrete structure itself doesn't burn, interiors will, and occupants can still die.

In any case, UBC aside, the proposal is for mid-rise construction using wood, not skyscrapers.
