Dynamic Designs - Creating innovative buildings in earthquake zones

Dynamic Designs

Are you ready to take on the challenge? Dynamic Designs is a competition for talented students to join together for an innovative engineering project. You and your team will be asked to design a building with one very special function – the ability to withstand an earthquake.

The University of Bristol, in partnership with Education UK and the British Council are looking for teams of students from across Korea to take part. This is your chance to showcase your creativity and lay the foundations for a great future. You could even win a brand new Netbook or an iPod Touch.
