I remember reading an interesting book about building construction many years ago written by someone doing some trance prophetic type of personal work. The author saw the Earth passing through a period where there would be frequent strong earthquakes, but what peaked my interest was the suggestion of how buildings would need to be constructed.

She thought people would go to a bowl-shaped foundation with detachable utilities. I assumed this applied to low construction, sheds, houses etc. In the event of a strong quake – if it shook the building, rocking it, causing a shift and possibly pulling off the utility connections – once things settled you could correct the upright angle, then reconnect the utilites and be as good as you were before.

At the time I was reading the book, I did not think there might a need for such an idea.
