Architectural reviewSummary: On 3 August 2014, a magnitude 6.1 earthquake with a depth of 12km hit the mountainous area of Ludian County in Yunnan Province. In total nearly 81,000 homes collapsed, 617 people died and 112 remain unaccounted for. More than 1,800 were injured and 57,000 were relocated, not least because rock falls had dammed the Niulan River threatening villages downstream. It is only because of the low residential density of these rural areas that the death toll wasn’t greater. The relatively busy town of Longtoushanzhen, for example, suffered 80 per cent of the fatalities.
