Abstract
The paper examines the development of earthquake resistant design in relation to architecture in earthquake prone areas, from the first mainly intuitive measures for ensuring horizontal stiffness of buildings up until the 20th century, when influences of earthquakes on buildings began to be included in standards and regulations for the design of contemporary earthquake resistant structures. Through the prism of earthquake resistance the paper studies and chronologically presents the influence of building structural systems from the period of the labour division of architecture and engineering until today.
