Earthquake Architecture: Research Essay
Earthquake Architecture: Research Essay
The Problem
Natural disasters such as earthquakes are common in countries
that sit on the pacific plate boundary, the area known as the
‘Ring of Fire’. As of late, natural disasters have become more frequent and intense. Though these countries have adapted
damage mitigation strategies and architectural designs, the same cannot be said to the countries outside the disaster hotspots.

The Purpose
Australia is a country that sits inside a tectonic plate and therefore, Australian buildings are not designed with disaster proofing in mind. However, with the rising temperatures, natural disasters have
become more frequent and more damaging. In the case of an
intense earthquake, Australian architecture may not be able to withstand the disaster.

The Solution
The ‘Earthquake Architecture’ formatted research essay displays informative text and supporting visual elements in a simple,
more digestible format. The text informs readers of the rising severity of natural disasters, existing earthquake mitigation architecture and how these techniques can be applied to areas outside the disaster hotspots.
