The objective of this Workshop is to sensitize students of architecture in earthquake resistant design practices through technical lectures followed by design studios where they will be given hands-on guidance in earthquake resistant design by working on an architectural design project.
Architects, as initiators of projects, coordinate the team of professionals responsible for the building delivery process. At this juncture, there is an urgent need to reach out to tomorrow’s architects through sensitization in seismic safety issues to better prepare them for their professional roles. To spearhead this agenda, NICEE was associated with the NASA 2007 Convention held at MANIT Bhopal in December 2007, at the SAARCH Convention 2008 held in New Delhi in March 2008, and more recently at the SAARC NASA Convention in Pune.
The upcoming Workshop is targeted at students of architecture who are presently in the third year of the architecture course, that is, they are in the sixth semester of the 10-semester degree programmed in architecture and would have completed sixth semester/ third year just before attending the workshop. The selected students will undergo hands on training in Earthquake Resistant Architecture Practices. The workshop will comprise in-person lectures on June 1 and 2, 2026, followed by design studio sessions from June 3 to 7, 2026, at IIT Kanpur, to be coordinated by professionals with wide experience in this field. Students will be provided regular double occupancy hostel and mess facilities during the stay at IIT Kanpur. A nonrefundable registration fee of Rs.10,000/- per student will be charged from the participants of the workshop. The registration fee is to be remitted after the selection of the participants.
We invite you to nominate upto four students from your college/institute to participate in this workshop. In view of the hands on nature of this workshop, we have to restrict the number of participants. Hence, depending on the number of applications received, we will select some of these students. We look forward to working with the students and preparing them in earthquake resistant design as a significant step in ensuring safety for the vulnerable communities in our country. The last date of receiving application is April 15, 2026

Strengths of the workshop
"Faculty are very interactive & approachable. We can ask them anything at anytime. They were very happy to answers."
"This workshop taught me new concepts related to earthquake and earthquake resistance. The faculty members were very supporting and encourages us to tryout new things."
"Networking with students from other colleges, Learning new software which would definitely help in integrating structural and architectural planning together."
"The workshop was very helpful. We got to know so many new things. I really thank & appreciate all the professors for putting so much of their knowledge in front of us"
"The faculty, other staff and people involved are the stars of the workshop. The energy that faculty exuded inspired us to do better. Additionally, I enjoyed working throughout the day."
"Guidance was at its finest and the mentors were very good. They have provided us the help and the knowledge upto a greater extent. Varied topics were taught with good presentations and resources."
"Strength of the workshop would definitely be the faclty members. The way they have guided us, been with us throught the course of the workshop was commendable."
"The mentors provided were really insightful and knowledgable. Getting to learn the software 'Resist' was a good opportunity. Visiting the labs and seeing how they are practically performed and tested, helped me relate things easily"
"The workshop encouraged interaction and allowed all to utilize and explore their potential. The mentor were supportive and shared high valued insights. The project helped in learning group work."

Learning from the workshop
"Structural analysis for earthquake design, How to incorporate it in architecture design."
"I learnt new things related to earthquake and earthquake resistance and the most important I learnt Resist software."
"Learning resist would deninately help me . Knowing the basics of the structural engineering and how to incorporate in the architectural planning."
"Learning about structural system is very interesting because there are many ways to incorporate structural elements to support the building."
"Importance of earthquake resistant structures. Working in group and getting out of the comfortzone. Detailed knowledge about different types of techniques and materials used in construction"
"It was quite insightful as being architecture students we don'tput in a lot of thought in structure which we should."
"The workshop definitely is important part in learning of architecture and seismic zone. The workshop was something that gave me knowledge that I can put in my future designs."
"For me I learned that this earthquake resisting issue is really a major concern and needs to be considered."
"Every single thing learned in the workshop was valuable and important."
"Get to meet the well experienced architects. More about the resist of for structure."
"The workshop has been truly insightful with respect to earthquake resistance practical and making us familiar with using them in our designs. Also, in the few days we worked as much as we do in a month or two so it helped us realize our potential."
