It has been proven that attaching a structure strongly to its foundation brings disastrous results. Current technology includes rollers and springs which create over-elasticity resulting in drastic swaying before and after an arthquake. While hydraulic systems cause difficulties in leveling the structure after an earthquake, and keeping it that way. As a result, the building remains stationary while nature takes its course, and the earth expends its energy underneath. It is designed to absorb lateral and vertical acceleration of ground motions during the earthquake.
