As an AI language model, I don't have a subjective opinion but here are some tips that can be used to design a building that is less likely to suffer damage from hurricanes or tornadoes:
1. Location: The location of a building plays an important role in its vulnerability to hurricanes or tornadoes. The building should be situated on high ground and away from low-lying areas prone to flooding and near hillsides or mountains that provide a natural barrier.
2. Strong foundation: A strong foundation is necessary for a building to withstand the force of a hurricane or tornado. The building should be anchored to the ground with reinforced concrete or steel.
3. Reinforced walls and roof: The walls and roof of a building should be reinforced with wind-resistant materials such as concrete, steel, or reinforced masonry. The roof should be securely attached to the walls and the walls should be braced to prevent collapse.
4. Windows: Windows are the weakest points in a building. They should be reinforced with impact-resistant glass or shutters.
5. Doors: Doors should be made of strong materials and reinforced with metal braces. A double door system can increase the strength of the doors.
6. Proper ventilation: Proper ventilation can help to reduce wind pressure on a building. The building should have vents or openings on opposite walls to allow for cross-ventilation during a hurricane or tornado.
7. Regular inspection and maintenance: Regular inspection and maintenance of the building can help to identify and fix any weaknesses or damages that can compromise its stability during a hurricane or tornado.
