Can buried grids steer earthquakes around buildings
HERE’S THE INTERESTING PART
By burying specifically shaped geometric grids in the dirt, architects can literally bend seismic shockwaves around a skyscraper. These acoustic metamaterials manipulate the soil's density to redirect the destructive energy of an earthquake away from the foundation. We are essentially giving buildings an invisible, vibration-canceling forcefield.
One discovery leads to another.
