Vol 15, Issue 4 2006In contrast to my first journal, all issues of the Indoor and Built Environment journals are filled with articles and rarely any images. Its articles are more on the technical side of architecture with concerns about human health, climate change, sustainability, safety, etc.
I found the latest issue, June 2010, Volume 19, No. 3, online and was very interested in the article titled Lessons Learnt from Natural Disasters - Shelters and the Built Environment.
This article lists the major natural disasters of the past ten years. They were mostly because the infrastructures were inadequate to withstand the damages caused.
With my office being on the peak of a mountain, there will be more wind pressure and it might be fragile in the event of an earthquake due to the small thickness at the mountain peak. Hence I will be extra cautious to make sure my office will be strong to withhold any live loads and have a strong structural support system.
