| According to the National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration website, “Tornadoes cause an average
of 70 fatalities and 1,500 injuries in the U.S. each year.”
While this fact is astounding, it takes living in an area where
severe weather is common to understand that tornadoes and severe
weather can cause a great deal of damage, even if they do not
always result in injury or death. Tornadoes can occur randomly
in the United States based solely on the weather patterns,
especially in the Central United States. In view of the fact
that tornadoes cause so much damage and even fatalities, this
indicates that a new architectural design of housing would be
beneficial. Can a new architecture building style be developed
that is resistant to tornadoes, yet still provide the desired
sustainability and comfort? Moreover, what characteristics will
distinguish this new style? |
