Members The
workshop titled "Teaching Earthquake-Resistant Structures in
Undergraduate Architecture Design Studio" was organized from March 8-10,
2025, to train architecture faculty across India in integrating
earthquake-resistant design into curricula. Led by a team of experts the
workshop combined technical lectures and practical studio sessions, covering
seismic principles, load factors, and global innovations in resistant design.
Participants engaged in case studies and design submissions, which were
evaluated before certificates were awarded. For
further information regarding the workshop, please visit
https://www.nicee.org/Faculty_Workshop/. For additional details or any queries,
please contact Suresh Ailawadi at Tele - 0512 259 7749 or Email: asuresh@iitk.ac.in. 2. Inter-School Quiz Competition based on
