Is wooden cladding possible in a load bearin structure?

This question implies you are confusing two elements of a building. The exterior cladding, and the load bearing elements. Load bearing elements includes components such as beams, columns, girders, pilasters, slabs, and load bearing walls. As for walls, regardless what the load bearing structure is, you can pretty much clad the exterior face of the wall with anything you want - as long as the cladding is firmly attached to the structure (so as to not blow off in a wind gust, for example). So for example, suppose a new coffee shop is built with steel columns and beams - these components still need to be "clad". If you wanted to clad the building with wood, this is very possible. You would merely need to detail the wood cladding so it is somehow braced back to the steel structure (which is not difficult to do). As a side note, if you meant to ask whether or not wood cladding can be used as THE load bearing structure of a building - the answer would be NO.
