As Indonesian, we know that we are living above the  intersection of two largest mountain system and two big plates, Asia and Australia. Indonesian island arcs represent a mountain belt in statu nascendi, exhibiting a systematic relationship of active tectonic and magmatic features. Indonesia has been known as earthquake-prone country.

 

throwback to 2006, an earthquake happened in Yogyakarta. It ruined everything mostly in Bantul Region. houses, buildings, and many more. Thousand of people were died because of that 5,9 richter magnitude of scale earthquake. A lot of assistances were given by so many people out there.

 

No exception with house rebuilding. So many architecture and home design experts  across country came and gave everything they could do to help the victim.

In result, here is the discovery of the unique earthquake-resistant house
