Continuing Xi’an Jiaotong-Liverpool University’s (<strong>XJTLU</strong>) success<br />

during the previous years' events, a team of four 3rd-year students from<br />

<strong>XJTLU</strong>’s Department of Architecture participated in the International<br />

Annual Earthquake Safety Design Competition IDEERS <strong>2018</strong> in<br />

Taipei, Taiwan. The four students (Qixuan Hu, Shuyu Ni, Lu Song and<br />

Haoning Zhang) spent two months during the summer continuously<br />

improving the earthquake resistance of their structures as well as their<br />

craftsmanship. The contributions of <strong>XJTLU</strong> were awarded with the Best<br />

Structure Design Prize and the Best Architecture Design Prize amongst<br />

49 international teams competing in the undergraduate category, and<br />

an Earthquake Safety Certificate. The <strong>XJTLU</strong> students’ success was a<br />

particularly impressive achievement as they were among only very<br />

few architecture students competing among a majority of engineering<br />

students in the undergraduate category.<br />
