Within the competition, teams of  undergraduate and postgraduate students and young professional members will design and build a small-scale earthquake resistant building that would be tested on a shake table during the conference. Requirements for participants would include (1) creating or joining a team, (2) designing and building a scale building model, and (3) testing your model at the conference. Each team must have 4 members with all under 30 years old. Multiple teams from the same office and university are encouraged.

Detailed rules for the competition are in the process of getting finalised, however, for your reference, preliminary requirements for design of the model building have been included below. It is envisioned that the buildings will be simple, and the final rules will be written to ensure the time commitment for participants is minimal.
