Andrew
Charleson's book shows how to make structural requirements an integral
part of the architectural design process, not an add-on. Using
non-technical language and detailed illustrations Charleson shows how
achieving structural standards need not limit the scope for
architectural innovation and high design standards in seismically
active zones.

With enough theory to satisfy architects without
swamping them in technical data, Seismic Design for Architects is a
state-of-the-art summary of designing buildings where being prepared
for the worst is an everyday fact of life.

Some of highlighted features of this book :
• Written for architects, emphasising design over analysis
• Key concepts conveyed with visual material to allow architects to appreciate the design solutions available to them
• Draws experience from a wide variety of national and international design codes
