This paper studies how actually architect plays a more significant part to deal with earthquake disaster in the complete cycles of building. The architect roles in building safety are discussed in every step in the building industry. It is clear enough that the architects are the ones mastering in every precaution related to the mitigation, from macro to micro, from start to finish, and from one to other aspects of the building. Neglecting one of those will only leave the occupants in danger.
