The paper also purposes some evaluating criteria based on simple structural and architectural parameter ranking system to better identify earthquake architecture which might be considered as the intersection of design principles in architecture and earthquake engineering. The intensity of relations between the two fields is further divided into different levels. Parameters of the proposed simplified ranking system compose two major groups: • parameters related to building structure and earthquake engineering and • parameters related to architecture and architectural expression echo through the prism of earthquake resistance. The waste diversity of parameters and difficulties to make an objective and unified quantitative judgment, present the complexity and essence of the earthquake architecture. With such an evaluation method it is possible to classify earthquake architecture in different levels of intensity which is presented with the given examples. The purpose of the paper is to encourage the development of new principles and forms of architectural design in seismic areas. We would like to include the architect more active in the seismic resistance design since technology, codes and cooperation with earthquake engineers are not the only or satisfactory solutions for appropriate culturally respectful design of buildings in earthquake prone areas. The paper opens discussion about the possibilities of architectural response to the earthquake threat.
