This paper presents a design concept of “anti-catastrophe” and proposes a framework of seismic design code for that concept. It proposes that the domain to be considered in the design should be extended in terms of three dimensions: phase, time, and space. We discuss the conditions required for the implementation of “anti-catastrophe”-oriented design. Since concepts of “anti-catastrophe”-oriented design is significantly different from that of conventional design, it is proposed to introduce “Category of Design” (CoD). We then present a design framework which consists of five stages. We also discuss institutional conditions required for this new design codes from the viewpoint of risk governance.
