Traditional Architecture and New Modern Architecture (building foundations) from Job's blog

Traditional Architecture presupposes and dictates that the foundations or column-foundations of a house, building or skyscraper should be vertical and appropriately deep (into the ground) according to the height of the structure (building).


Indeed, vertical foundations can keep a structure strong and stable, but that "strength" can cause the structure to collapse in a strong earthquake (since foundations are vertical; the building shakes in the same way as the ground).


Therefore New Modern Architecture implies, that the foundation of the building (it would be good for several buildings to have one foundation, opposite pyramid "cavity" (empty inside) with the parallel and flat upper foundation (parallel, flat upper, square and wide foundation are included, that the building(s) not become like Pisa); as shown in the picture) should have an opposite pyramid cavity so that during an earthquake the building "would swims" (at an oblique angle, the impact is softened) together with the foundation in the ground (owing to the opposite pyramid), as a ship floats in water (ships are also built according to the "opposite pyramid" logic). The foundation (opposite pyramid) should also be square and similar to the Pyramid of Cheops with "eight wings" (so that the foundation is strong and "swims" well in the ground).


As much as possible (and will be) the foundation of the building(s) should be heavier from the building(s) or or a little lighter from the building(s), so that this "heavy" also fights against the earthquake, just like a thick and heavy tree is more difficult to budge than a thin and light tree. 


Of course, this project will require some refinement, but I think the general approach is correct. There may also be some difficulties associated with groundwater. Foundations must be monolithic (concrete wall) and reinforced. The main advantages are the inclined angle (opposite pyramid) of the foundation and the high weight of the foundation.
