Abstract

The project is the transforming earthquake damaged buildings into new public complexity, integrate separate buildings together, provide more public space, improves existing architecture quality and structural performance through extra construction system. Through the design and research, a more architectural solution to retrofit seismic damage of brick buildings is provided, not only focus on the structure challenge, but also aims to improve the architecture performance of existing buildings.
