A big research effort has been made on the prediction of earthquakes in the last decades, and in fact the exploration of the new techniques aiming to foresee the occurrence of seismic events is in a continuous progress. Several analytical tools have been developed around the world in order to estimate, with different degrees of accuracy, the vulnerability of buildings and the probable loss of lives and economic resources, due to the occurrence of an earthquake. Those tools are intended to be used by government agencies, and even by insurance companies, as a mean for planning of emergency preparedness procedures …

Architectural form is often used but less frequently defined. Architectural form is an inclusive term that refers primarily to a building’s external outline or shape, and to a lesser degree references its internal organization and unifying principles. Shape encompasses various visual and relational properties; namely size, color and texture, position, orientation and visual inertia. Form is therefore generally and primarily understood as the shape or three dimensional massing, but also encompasses additional architectural aspects including structural configuration and form, in so far as they may organize and unify an architectural design.
