Answer:

Base-isolation building

Explanation:

An earthquake refers to the sudden shaking of the ground due to the release of energy. It causes huge damages to the buildings, houses, roads and other properties.

In order to reduce the effect of the earthquake, or to prevent destruction, the base isolation method is incorporated. This base isolation is an efficient method that is used in such a way that the seismic energy is easily transferred  (distributed) through the structure of the building. This helps in the mitigation of the effects of the earthquake. It is generally an expensive method. These are mostly built in areas that are prone to earthquakes.

Thus, the building that is constructed by using the method of base isolation is considered as the base-isolation buildings.
