Implementation of the new technology to answer an old problem requires an innovative approach. In this study, the aim was decreasing fatalities, caused by material fragmentation and collapsing, in in earthquake disaster. Thus, the main goal was an environmentally friendly way of materialization for reconstruction in a seismic desert circumstance. To achieve this goal, two main groups of effects on the construction, including desert environmental/climate and earthquake resonance, were investigated. Although the study is globally applicable, as the work started with the main case study of Barn, a desert city that recently experienced a devastating earthquake. Therefore, we took the local regulations and technologies seriously into account. However, complexity of several aspects, affecting the system, made the study reasonable to be a subject for longer and broader study. We will discuss these aspects and their effects ending the discussion up to a suitable material in this paper.
