Building design

When architects design a building, the aesthetics of the building is often important. In addition to the visual expression, other things such as the building’s form, can significantly influence its resistance capabilities to potential attacks. This should be considered for all types of construction, whether a multi-storey building or a single-storey hall.

For example, when an explosion is triggered, it causes a larger or smaller shock wave, depending on the size of the blast. By forming the building correctly, such blast waves can be reflected, reducing the destructive effect.
