Course Objectives	This course aims students both to understand the responsibility of designing earthquake resistant interiors and to acquire the necessary technical information to propose creative new solutions by considering existing applications.
Learning Outcomes	The students who succeeded in this course; Analyze the frame structures and their elements’ predicted behavior during the earthquake. Propose a space planning with sub-structures and fixed furniture which might be life-saving cages in an earthquake. Evaluate the performance of an interior against to earthquake shake. Develop existing detailed solutions for the minimized damage in an interior. Design creative new details to prevent possible injuries in an earthquake.
Course Description	This course scopes the design solutions for space planning, furniture, and details, which might be lifesaving in an earthquake, and manufacturing the model of proposed detail solutions.
