Mentor Llunji is a practicing structural engineer and author of several books on architecture and earthquake resistant design.He is best known for his book Seismic architecture. Education & Work He holds a Master degree in structural engineering.In addition to earthquake engineering, his field of interest is the relation between structure and architecture, as well as the role of structure in enriching architectural creations. Philosophy Llunji sees architecture as a central question in earthquake resistant design, striving for simplicity in building configuration and structural layout. "..From the very beginning of my career as a structural engineer i believed that we should strive to design buildings that provide a sesnse of security; buildings which reflect seismic resistance through architecture,configuration and structural layout, to the degree that in an earthquake people instead of running out of the buildings , will seek refuge inside the buildings we designed..."
