dc.description.abstractgeneralFollowing a natural disaster, buildings are destroyed, communities are separated and families are left without a place to live. As these disasters are expected to intensify and become more frequent, many people and communities are at risk. Natural disasters repeatedly reveal a lack of preparedness and rebuilding plans are often met with a lack of coordination and resources. Instead of waiting for a disaster to strike and then responding, we must protect people and places through the way we design buildings. This thesis is an exploration of how buildings can be designed and built to withstand the forces of natural disasters.en
