EARTHQUAKE ARCHITECTURE,
By
This review is from: Earthquake Architecture: New Construction Techniques for Earthquake Prevention (Hardcover)
earthquake architecture as a way of expressing seismic strengthening(and measures) architecturally, should be very interesting topic for every architect designing in earthquake prone areas.Book is well written with interesting examples presented.The author had enough space for exploring topics related to relationship between earthquake and architecture..therefore I hope the next edition will be expanded for at least another 100 pages...
