IDEERS is an annual seismic design competition held in Taipei. In 2009, the University of Auckland is again sending a team to Taipei to compete in the prestigious international competition. The team is led by Dr. Liam Wotherspoon and the attendance is made possible through a generous sponsorship from the Earthquake Commission (www.eqc.govt.nz).
This is a video of the team's final practice model. Note the tapered building design and the sliding isolation of the mass blocks.
