Are You "Ready to Rumble?"
Will you be ready when the next earthquake strikes Seattle? According to “The Really Big One” published in The New Yorker in July 2015, the Cascadia Subduction Zone, spanning from Northern California to Southern Canada, has a 1 in 3 chance of a big earthquake (8.6 magnitude) and a 1 in 10 chance of a very big earthquake (9.2 magnitude) in the next 50 years. In an effort to help promote earthquake awareness and readiness, Architects Without Borders – Seattle is hosting an open design competition, called Ready to Rumble, to change the way we think about earthquake preparedness in the Puget Sound area. AWB-Seattle challenges you to propose life-saving tools, methods, systems, or products at any scale in order to get our neighbors and community members ready for the next “big one.” REGISTRATION DEADLINE SUBMISSION DEADLINE SEATTLE DESIGN FESTIVAL EXHIBIT SEND QUESTIONS TO SPECIAL THANKS TO OUR CO-PROMOTERS Seattle Architecture Foundation American Society of Landscape Architects – Washington Chapter University of Washington – Department of Landscape Architecture |
