students who have completed six semesters of studies in their respective
architecture programs, from 9 institutes from all over India and Nepal. During the workshop, the students learnt
architectural and structural aspects of earthquake-resistant design and
implemented it for a project Design an Office Complex on a site in Gandhidham, a city located in Kutch district, Gujarat.
The studio sessions were a mix of desk work and informal lectures where
individual cases were used to illustrate earthquake engineering concepts. In online sessions, Dr. Hari Kumar, Geo Hazards, New
Delhi delivered a lecture covering the topics about causes of earthquakes,
basic terminology, earthquake ground motion, et al. Prof. Atanu K Dutta of Jorhat
Institute of Science and Technology, Jorhat discussed the factors affecting
earthquake loads on buildings, and Prof. Vasudha Gokhale of Dr. B.N. College
of Architecture for Women, Pune, gave insight on Buildings Add-Ons Faculty members who participated as the resource
