The document discusses disaster management in high-rise residential buildings. It explains that fires require fuel, heat, and oxygen to ignite and discusses strategies to control or isolate these elements to prevent combustion. The primary goal of fire safety is to protect occupants and prevent loss of life and property damage. Indian law mandates minimum fire safety equipment for developed properties as defined in the national building code, which standardizes design and construction requirements.
DISASTER MITIGATION CONSTRUCTION TECHNIQUESRajesh Kolli
Disaster management is better split up in two: ‘disaster prevention’ and ‘emergency management’.
One prevents a disaster and manages an emergency.
Emergency management deals with all activities from preparedness to rehabilitation. Recovery goes from impact to reconstruction.
Mitigation means to reduce the severity of the human and material damage caused by the disaster.

The Institute of Town Planners, India, owes its origin to a small group of Town Planners of Delhi, who in 1947 decided to set up a professional Town Planning Institute on the lines similar to the Royal Town Planning Institute, London. The number of planners, which then did not exceed six, was too small for a registered society to be set up and therefore, the small group formed itself into an Indian Board of Town Planners and started working towards establishing a professional Institute.

Architects Professional Liability
Whether a small architecture enterprise or a multinational million dollar conglomerate, the work of architects and engineers is constantly under the spotlight. No matter how careful and exact an architect or engineer is, their work is constantly scrutinized by clients, leaving the chance of facing a lawsuit alleging negligence or failure to render professional services. Working in an industry that continues to feel the negative effects of the economy, architects and engineers cannot afford to take this risk - and that is where we can help.
Earthquake-resistant structures are structures designed to protect buildings to some or greater extent from earthquakes. While no structure can be entirely immune to damage from earthquakes, the goal of earthquake-resistant construction is to erect structures that fare better during seismic activity than their conventional counterparts. According to building codes, earthquake-resistant structures are intended to withstand the largest earthquake of a certain probability that is likely to occur at their location. This means the loss of life should be minimized by preventing the collapse of the buildings for rare earthquakes while the loss of the functionality should be limited for more frequent ones

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

DISASTER MANAGEMENT
SEMESTER VII , 2015
2. CONTENTS
1. INTRODUCTION
2. PHASES IN DM
3. DISASTER MANAGEMENT IN :
• City – Japan
• Hotel – Ginger , Surat
• High Rise Residential
• Fire Station
• Institution
• Office Building – Burj Khalifa
• Residence
3. • Disaster management (or emergency management) is
the creation of plans through which communities reduce
vulnerability to hazards and cope with disasters.
• Disaster management does not avert or eliminate the
threats, instead it focuses on creating plans to decrease the
impact of disasters. Failure to create a plan could lead to
damage to assets, human mortality, and lost revenue.
• Events covered by disaster management include acts
of terrorism, industrial sabotage, fire, natural disasters (such
as earthquakes, hurricanes, etc.), public disorder, industrial
accidents, and communication failures.
• The Red Cross and Red Crescent societies define disaster
management as the organization and management of
resources and responsibilities for dealing with all
humanitarian aspects of emergencies, in particular
preparedness, response and recovery in order to lessen the
impact of disasters
INTRODUCTION
• There is no country that is immune from disaster, though
vulnerability to disaster varies. There are four main types
of disaster.
• Natural disasters: including floods, hurricanes,
earthquakes and volcano eruptions that have immediate
impacts on human health and secondary impacts causing
further death and suffering from (for example) floods,
landslides, fires, tsunamis.
• Environmental emergencies: including technological or
industrial accidents, usually involving the production, use
or transportation of hazardous material, and occur where
these materials are produced, used or transported, and
forest fires caused by humans.
• Complex emergencies: involving a break-down of
authority, looting and attacks on strategic installations,
including conflict situations and war.
• Pandemic emergencies: involving a sudden onset of
contagious disease that affects health, disrupts services
and businesses, brings economic and social costs.
TYPES OF DISASTERS
4. • Mitigation: any activity that reduces either the
chance of a hazard taking place or a hazard
turning into disaster.
• Risk reduction: anticipatory measures and
actions that seek to avoid future risks as a
result of a disaster.
• Prevention: avoiding and reduce the chances of
disaster, usually the impact and damage of
disaster.
• Preparedness: plans or preparations made to
save lives or property, and help the response
and rescue service operations. This phase
covers implementation/operation, early
warning systems and capacity building so the
population will react appropriately when an
early warning is issued.
• Response: includes actions taken to save lives
and prevent property damage, and to preserve
the environment during emergencies or
disasters. The response phase is the
implementation of action plans.
• Recovery: includes actions that assist a
community to return to a sense of normalcy
after a disaster.

6. DISASTER PROFILE OF JAPAN
•Historically, destructive natural disasters have posed
greatest challenge for Japanese society.
•Unfavorable geographical, topographical and
meteorological conditions of the country have made it one
of the most disaster prone countries in the world.
•Japan is subject to about 20.5 % earthquakes with the
magnitude 6 or more and 7 % the world’s active volcanoes
is located on its territory.
•The most frequent natural hazards in Japan are
earthquakes, tsunamis, typhoons, volcano eruptions, floods
and landslides.
•Occasional torrential rains and heavy snows are another
challenge for the country.
•The high number of earthquakes, tsunamis and active
volcanoes are the conditioned by the fact that territory of
Japan forms the part Circum-Pacific Seismic Belt which is
sometimes called as Pacific Ring of Fire.
•Japan is located at the junction of 4 tectonic plates –
Eurasian Plate, North American Plate, Pacific Plate and
Philippine Sea –which is the cause of high seismicity of its
territory.

DISASTER MANAGEMENT OF JAPAN
•Various disaster management related laws adopted since late 40s
has laid down the legal framework for the disaster management
system of Japan.
These laws cover all phases of disaster management –
1. preparedness,
2.Prevention/mitigation,
3.response and
4.recovery/rehabilitation
The enactment of the Disaster Countermeasures Basic Act (DCBA) is
considered to be the turning point in the history of modern disaster
management system of Japan.
The DCBA which covers all phases of disaster management and
stipulates establishment of disaster management councils at three
levels:
1.national – Central Disaster Management Council;
2.Prefectural – Local Disaster Management Council and
3.Municipal Disaster Management Councils
As well as defines organization and duties of these councils and
defines conditions for establishment of headquarters for disaster
control in case of emergency.
The SELF DEFENCE FORCES or SDF conducts a
• variety of disaster relief operations in collaboration with
municipal governments when disasters such as natural disasters
occur in any part of the country, by engaging in the search and
rescue of disaster victims or missing ships or aircraft, controlling
floods, offering medical treatment, preventing epidemics,
supplying water, and transporting personnel and goods.

OVERVIEW OF THE DISASTER MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
• Likewise, its national government system, disaster management
in Japan is also vested on 3-layered system – national, prefectural
and municipal layers.
Outline of disaster management system in Japan
9. •Basic Disaster Management Plan is prepared by the
Central Disaster Management Council and basis plan
for disaster management activities. The plan must be
based on Disaster Countermeasure Basic Act. The
structure of it is as shown in the figure below:
DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLANNING IN
JAPAN IS IMPLEMENTED AT THREE LEVELS:
•Disaster Management Operation Plan is made by
each designated government organization and
designated public corporation based on the Basic
Disaster Management Plan.
•Local Disaster Management Plan is made by
prefectural and municipal disaster management
councils, subject to local circumstances and based
on Basic Disaster Management Plan.
OUTLINE OF EMERGENCY RESPONSE SYSTEM
10. FLOOD CONTROL
River and Flood Management in Japan is regulated
based on the River Act and Flood Control Act
respectively.
The River Act, besides setting the basic rules for river
administration defines major flood prevention
measures whereas the purpose of the Flood Control
Act, aka, Flood Fighting Law is to watch for and guard
against water-related disasters caused by floods or
storm surges and mitigate damage in order to
maintain public safety.
• According to Flood Control Act the municipalities
assumes the primary and full responsibility for
flood fighting activities within their respective
territories.
• The following flood mitigation measures are
conducted based on the Flood Control Act: Patrol
of river, Mobilization of flood-fighting and fire-
fighting organizations, Ordering residents to
evacuate, Reporting and publishing water levels
• The Act plays an important role in the reduction of
flood damage. It has provisions governing the
following matters.
1. Flood forecast to guide evacuation, etc. (jointly
issued by a river administrator and the Japan
Meteorological Agency).
2. Flood fighting warning to guide flood fighting
activities (issued by a river administrator).
3. Public announcement by a river administrator of
flood prone areas along each major river and
preparation of a hazard map by each municipality
based on the assumed flood prone areas. Weather and Disaster Information Dissemination by JMA
Water Discharge Tunnel
When the tanks and tunnel fill, engineers
turn on the heart of the system, which is a
series of four turbines powered by jet
engines similar to those used in a Boeing
737 airplane.
The turbines are then able to rapidly
funnel floodwaters to the nearby Edo
River.

13. Emergency Warning System (EWS) utilized in
collaboration the JMA is carried out only in special
emergency cases such as large-scale tsunami and earthquake
warnings or based on the request of governors and mayors.
In striving to alert as many people as possible, the system
switches on tv sets and radios – 4 tv channels and 3 radio
channels belong to NHK - automatically.
Since 1985 the EWS alert has been issued 18 times – all of
them for tsunami warnings, while the test transmission is
conducted every month and emergency drills held every day
by NHK.
• To ensure quick and live broadcasting from disaster hit
areas NHK owns 14 helicopters – which are equipped with
necessary devices for live broadcasting – stationed at 12
locations and 460 remote controlled cameras installed
countrywide.
• In addition, the official web-page of NHK also provides
disaster and weather information and enables watching two
channels – General TV and NHK World TV - online.

16. DISASTER MANAGEMENT OF FIRE
In the case of large-scale disasters when firefighting organizations
cannot cope alone, elite emergency rescue teams of the FDMA, known
as, Emergency Fire Response Teams assist them.
Leader of the municipal teams supervise municipal teams and manage
their activities.
Below the structure of Emergency Response Fire Teams is described:
Firefighting Teams: Assist in putting out fires to prevent the spread of
flames during large-scale fires.
Rescue Teams: Ensure preparation of equipment used for advanced
rescue, search for persons requiring rescuing and assist in rescue
efforts.
Emergency Teams: Ensure preparation of equipment used for high-level
emergencies and assist in emergency activities
Logistical Support Teams: Assist in required transport and resupply
using vehicles equipped with water supply systems to support the
activities of each team.
Special Disaster Teams: Firefighting teams for responding to special
types of disasters, including poisonous substances and major toxic spills.
Special Equipment Teams: Firefighting teams for responding to special
equipment, including those required by teams for rescues in flooded
areas and carrying water to remote areas.
Air Squadrons: Firefighting activities conducted using fire protection
helicopters.
Marine Squadrons: Firefighting activities conducted using fireboats.

24. • A fire must have three things to ignite
and maintain combustion:
•Fuel
•Heat
•Oxygen
• The basic strategy of fire prevention is to
control or isolate sources of fuel and
heat in order to prevent combustion. If
all three are not present in sufficient
quantities a fire will not ignite or a fire
will not be able to sustain combustion.
• The primary goal of fire safety efforts is
to protect building occupants from
injury and to prevent loss of life and
prevent property damage. According to
Indian law, minimal fire safety
equipment is mandatory for any
developed property.
• These laws are given by the national
building code, which is a document
containing standardized requirement for
the design & construction of most types
of building in the country.
Disaster Management – High-rise Building
STRATEGY OF FIRE PREVENTION FIRE SAFETY AND REGULATIONS
• The National Building Code (NBC) is a national instrument that guides
the regulations for construction activity.
• It contains all the important aspects relevant for safe and orderly
building development.
• The building that does not satisfy building code or violation of
National building code will lead to penalty, cancellation of sanction or
demolition of the building
• Demarcations:- A city or area under the jurisdiction of the authority
shall for the purpose, of the Code, be demarcated into distinct zones,
based on fire hazards inherent in the buildings and structures
according to Occupancy that shall be called as “ Fire Zones”.
Fire Zone 1:-

BURJ KHALIFA (DUBAI)
GENERAL INFORMATION
•The Burj Khalifa Project is the tallest structure ever
built by man, Figure 1, that rises 828 meters into
Dubai skyline tall and it consists of 162 floors above
grade and 3 basement levels. While integrating wind
engineering principles and aerodynamic shaping into
the architectural design concept was an important
consideration in mitigating and taming the dynamic
wind effects, managing the gravity load flow to the
building extremities was equally significant in
overcoming the overturning moment due to extreme
lateral loads. Most of the tower overturning
resistance is managed mostly by the tower’s own
gravity loads. In addition, all the vertical members are
proportioned to resist gravity loads on equal stress
basis to overcome the differential column shortening
issues that are generally difficult to manage in
supertall buildings.
•The structure of Burj Khalifa was designed to
behave like a giant column with cross sectional
shape that is a reflection of the building massing and
profile.
•The Burj Khalifa project is a multi-use development
tower with a total floor area of 460,000 square
meters that includes residential, hotel, commercial,
office, entertainment, shopping, leisure, and parking
facilities.

STRUCTURE OF BUILDING
• To determine the wind loading on the main structure wind tunnel tests were
undertaken early in the design using the high-frequency-force balance
technique. In this well established technique, (Tschanz, 1980), the model
itself is rigid and is rnould on a fast response force balance. It is then tested
in a boundary layer wind tunnel where it is subjected to a simulated wind in
which the full scale wind profile and wind turbulence are properly
reproduced at model scale The advantage of the technique is that it is
relatively quick to undertake and provides the complete spectra of the wind-
generated modal forces acting on the tower The wind tunnel data were then
combined with the dynamic properties of the tower in order to compute the
tower's dynamic response and the overall effective wind force distributions
at full scale For the Burj Dubai the )0111 results of the force balance tests
were used as early input for the structural design and allowed parametric
studies to be undertaken on the effects of varying the tower's Higher imp to
stiffness and mass distribution The Lower impaei wind ditto ion building has
essentially sin important wind directions Three of wind direction the
directions are when the wind blows directly into a wing The wind is blowing
into the 'nose" or cut water effect of each wing (Nose A. Nose B and Nose C).
The other three directions are when the wind blows in between two wings.
These Figure ?Plan view were termed as the lair directions (Tail A, Tail B and
Tail C) It was noticed that the force spectra for different wind directions
showed less excitation in the important frequency range for winds impacting
the pointed or nose end of a wing. see Figure 2. than from the opposite
direction (tail) This was born in mind when selecting the orientation of the
tower relative to the most frequent strong wind directions for Dubai:
northwest. south and east
• Several rounds of force balance tests were undertaken as the geometry of
the tower evolved and was refined architecturally The three wings set back
in a clockwise sequence with the A wing setting back first After each round of
wind tunnel testing. the data was analyzed and the building was reshaped to
minimize wind effects and accommodate unrelated changes in the Client's
program. In general. the number and spacing of the set backs changed as did
the shape of wings. This process resulted in a substantial reduction in wind
forces on the tower by "confusing" the wind.

• Burj Khalifa was designed in triangular shape because it was suitable
to deflect the wind to different ways.

• Figure 3 is a plot of the response of original building configuration
and the response after several refinements of the architectural
massing In these plots the horizontal axis is the wind tunnel model
frequency that can be related to the recurrence interval for wind
events and the vertical axis is proportional to the resonant dynamic
forces divided by the square of the wind velocity.
• Towards the end of design aero elastic model tests were initiated An
aeroelasatic model is flexible in the same manner as the real
building. with property scaled stiffness. mass and damping It is more
accurate than a force balance study since the aercelastic interaction
between the structure and wind is fully simulated including such
effects as aerodynamic damping. and also the statistics of the
dynamic response can be measured directly providing a more
accurate determination of the relationship between peak response
and RMS response.
• For the Burl Dubai the modal deflection shapes were similar to those
of a tapered cantilevered column. Therefore it was possible to obtain
excellent agreement between frequencies and mode shapes on the
model with those predicted at full scale by using a single

•The design of Burj Khalifa undertook with special attention to the fire
safety and evacuation speed.
• Pressurized and air-conditioned refuge areas are designed on almost
every 25 floor of this tower to ensure better safety as occupants can’t
literally walk down to 160 floors in one go.

FOUNDATION SYSTEM
The Tower is founded on 3700mm thick high performance reinforced
concrete pile supported raft foundation at -7.55 DMD. The
reinforced concrete raft foundation utilizes high performance Self
Compacting Concrete (SCC) and is placed over a minimum 100mm
blinding slab over waterproofing membrane, over at least 50mm
blinding slab. The raft foundation bottom and all sides are protected
with waterproofing membrane.
The tower is founded on 192 -150mm diameter high performance
reinforced concrete bored piles, extending approximately 45 meters
below the base of the raft. All piles utilize self compacting concrete
(SCC) with w/c ratio not exceeding 0.30, placed in one continuous
concrete pour using the tremie method. The final pile elevations are
founded at -55 DMD to achieve the assumed pile capacities of 3000
Tonnes.
In addition to providing high performance, high durability concrete for
the tower foundation systems, a complete waterproofing membrane
and cathodic protection systems were provided to protect against the
corrosive soil conditions at the tower site.

STRUCTURAL HEALTH MONITORING SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The Burj Khalifa Project is now the tallest building in the world and the
tallest manmade structure. While developing the structural system
requirements and integrating them into the architectural design concept
was a novel task, the construction planning of the tower was very
challenging in every aspect and it required the utilization of the latest
technological advances in construction methods and techniques to build the
tower to high degree of accuracy, similar or better than that used for steel
construction; thus requiring the implementation of state-of-the art survey
and structural health monitoring program that comprised of:
➢Extensive Survey Monitoring Program to measure the foundation
settlement, column shortening, and lateral building movement during
construction,
➢Installation of Strain gages to measure the total strains at the main
structural members including, piles, raft foundation, walls, columns,
and outrigger shear wall panels.
➢Installation of the temporary real-time health monitoring program to
measure the building lateral displacement and acceleration during
construction, and to identify the building dynamic characteristics
(frequencies, damping, etc) during construction. This system included
bi-directional accelerometers, GPS system, and weather station (wind
speed, wind direction, humidity, and temperature).
Installation of a permanent real-time structural health monitoring
(SHM) program to measure the building motions (acceleration,
displacement) due to lateral loads (wind, andseismic in particular),
and any other unexpected lateral loads. In addition to the installation
of GPS System, bi-directional accelerometers and sonimometers were
installed at several levels along the building height to provide real
time building accelerations and wind data. The installation of these
devices in essence resulted in 1) the development of full scale
aeroelastic model of the tower while providing full feedback and
details on the dynamic characteristics of the tower, 2) sufficient data to
assess the fatigue behavior of the steel structure in general and at the
pinnacle in particular, 3) wind speed and distribution along the building
height, and 4) most importantly providing the building facility and
management team real-time information on the building movements
and characteristics to allow them make better and almost instant
management decision about any issues that may rise during the
lifetime of the tower.

PERMANENT FULL SCALE REAL TIME STRUCTURAL
HEALTH MONITORING PROGRAM AND NETWORK
The final chapter of monitoring the structural system at Burj Khalifa was
concluded by the development and installation of a comprehensive full
scale structural health monitoring (SHM) program consisting of 1) three
(3) pairs of accelerometers at the foundation level of the tower to
capture base accelerations, 2) six (6) pairs of accelerometers at levels 73,
123, 155 (top of concrete), 160M3, Tier23A, and top of the pinnacle to
measure the tower acceleration simultaneously at all levels, 3) a GPS
system to measure the building displacement at level 160M3, 4) twenty
three (23)
Since completion of the installation of the SHM program at Burj Khalifa,
most of the structural system characteristics have been identified and
included measuring the following:
1. Building acceleration at all levels
2. Building displacements at level 160M3
3. Wind profile along the building height at most balcony areas,
including wind speed & direction, which still needs calibration to
relate to the basic wind speed
4. Building dynamic frequencies, including higher modes
5. Expected building damping at low amplitude due to both wind and
seismic event

CONCLUSION
Historically tall buildings design and construction relied solely on
minimum building code requirements, fundamental mechanics, scaled
models, research, and experience. While many research and
monitoring programs have been done in tall buildings, these programs
had very limited research and scope and yet to be systematically
validated and or holistically integrated.
The intimate involvement of the author in 1) developing the structural
and foundation systems for Burj Khalifa, while at SOM, 2) participating
in the development of the construction methodology and planning of
Burj Khalifa, while at Samsung, 3) pursuing the achievement of US
national science and foundation grant for the “Full Scale Monitoring
Program in Tall Buildings under wind”, while at SOM and in cooperation
with the BLWTL and the university of Notre Dame, and finally 4) the
author passion to understand and to reflect on the actual
performance of Burj Khalifa structure by confirming concrete materials
characteristics, design assumptions, and analytical modeling
assumptions and techniques, led to the development of the detailed
survey and SHM program that provided immediate and direct
feedback on the actual structural performance of the tower from
beginning of construction and throughout its lifetime.
The development of the comprehensive SHM programs at Burj Khalifa
included
Testing all concrete grades to confirm the concrete mechanical
properties and characteristic (strength, modulus of elasticity,
shrinkage and creep characteristics, split cylinder, durability, heat of
hydration, etc.)
Survey monitoring programs to measure the foundation settlement,
column shortening, and tower lateral movement from the early
construction stage until the completion of the structure.
Strain monitoring program to measure the actual strains in the
columns, walls, and near the outrigger levels to confirm the load
transfer into the exterior mega columns.
Sample of measured acceleration at all levels (not to scale) and predicted
displacement at all levels due an earthquake event that occurred in
southern Iran on July 10, 2010.
Survey program to measure the building tilt in real time, and the
utilization of GPS technology in the survey procedure.
Temporary real time SHM program in collaboration with the
university of Notre Dame to measure the building acceleration,
displacement, and to provide real-time feedback on the tower
dynamic characteristics and behavior during construction and
before completion of the structure.
Permanent real time SHM program in collaboration with the
University of Notre Dame and CPP to measure the building
acceleration, movement, dynamic characteristics (frequencies,
mode shapes), acceleration time history record and tilt of the
foundation at the base of the tower, wind velocity profile along the
entire height, weather station, and fatigue behavior of the
spire/pinnacle.

CONCLUSION
The measured data collected from the above survey and SHM programs
were found in good agreement with Samsung predicted structural
behavior. The survey and SHM programs developed for Burj Khalifa has:
Validated the design assumptions and parameters used in the
design, analysis, and construction techniques.
Provided real-time information on the structural system response
and allowed for potential modification to the construction
techniques to ensure the expected performance during
construction and though its lifetime.
Identified anomalies at early stages and allowed for means to
address them.
Generated very large in-situ data for all concrete materials used for
the tower
Provided full feedback on the foundation and structural system
behavior and characteristics since the start of construction.
The survey and SHM programs developed for Burj Khalifa will with no
doubt pioneer the use of survey and SHM program concepts as part of
the fundamental design concept of building structures and will be
benchmarked as a model for future monitoring programs for all critical
and essential facilities. However, advancements in computer and IT
technologies, innovative advancement in fiber optic sensors,
nanotechnologies, dynamic monitoring devices, new GPS system
technologies, and wireless monitoring techniques will be used as a base
for future survey and SHM programs and it will become an integral part
of the building design and Intelligent Building Management System.

57. CLIMATE
• Most of Thailand has a “Tropical wet and dry or savanna climate" type.The south and the
eastern tip of the east have a tropical monsoon climate.
• Countrywide, temperatures normally range from an average annual high of 38 °C (100.4 °F) to a
low of 19 °C (66.2 °F).
• Southwest monsoons that arrive between May and July (except in the south) signal the advent
of the rainy season.
GEOGRAPHY
Totaling 513,120 square kilometers (198,120 sq mi), Thailand is the world's 51st-largest country by total
area. It is slightly smaller than Yemen and slightly larger than Spain.
Thailand comprises several distinct geographic regions, partly corresponding to the provincial groups.
The north of the country is the mountainous area of the Thai highlands, with the highest point being Doi
Inthanon in the Thanon Thong Chai Range at 2,565 metres (8,415 ft) above sea level. The
northeast, Isan, consists of the Khorat Plateau, bordered to the east by the Mekong River. The centre of
the country is dominated by the predominantly flat Chao Phraya river valley, which runs into the Gulf of
Thailand.
TRADITIONAL THAI HOUSES
•The traditional Thai house is ideally
adapted to its environment. Open high-
pitched roof that facilitates air circulation.
Open windows and walls in combination
with a large central terrace provide ideal
ventilation and offer relief from the hot and
humid climate.
•Rainwater runs off the steep roof
quickly and falls through the permeable
terrace and house floors. The use of wood
and bamboo reflects the once abundant
forests that provided these materials
ubiquitously and cheaply.
