This document discusses designing an earthquake resistant hotel building using unconventional methods. It recommends minimizing corners, voids, and projections to increase symmetry and regularity. It presents the building plan, sections, and structural drawings. It discusses using separated, built-in, or sliding staircases. Recommended earthquake-resistant materials include fiber-reinforced polymer, hybrid fiber, and high-strength steel. It suggests using diagonal bracing, base isolation, viscous dampers, and friction dampers to absorb seismic energy.
