  • the present invention in some embodiments thereof, relates to a method of constructing of a structure (e.g., a building) and, more particularly, but not exclusively may be a method that may increase structural stability and/or may decrease foundation pressure.
  • a building with a large height to base size ratio may be threatened in its stability e.g., by a strong wind and/or continuous strong winds which may cause great pressure on a tall building. In some cases, such winds may cause damage to the building and/or cause damage over time. Similarly, storms, strong rains and/or continuous rain may also cause damage Earthquakes may also be a danger to buildings, but if a building is built correctly then it may resist the damage caused by earthquakes.
  • Another challenge can be the constant pressure and/or weight of the building itself. For example, over time a tall building may wear and/or may become dangerous.
