confidence by the fact that the architect was an idealist, and former president of the Chamber of Architects. He said that of course everyone will be questioned as it would be a disservice not, and that they will look for was missing leading to the buildings collapse. Professor of Geophysics Dr. Ahmet Ercan said that by the time the shockwave of the earthquake reached Antakya it had increased instead of reducing in magnitude, so much so that it was equal but opposite to gravity. This caused buildings, even if they had strong and stable structures to experience a force that threw them up into the air from the base up and then pushed them sideways, of which Rönesans Rezidans is an example. The building is knocked over but it has not collapsed. All the columns and beams appear still strongly attached to each other showing no sings of breakage. A rule of thumb is that for every 5 floors above ground there should be 1 floor with curtain concrete below ground. It appear that the foundation floor is about , whereas according to this rule of thumb it should have been about deep. Japanese Architect and Engineer Yoshinori Moriwaki also interpreted the collapse of Rönesans Rezidans. responding to questions comparing it to the surrounding buildings that had not collapsed he said that the length of Rönesans Rezidans played a part. However such a long building is fine as well, but should make use of a friction piles system which would have increase the price of the whole project by about 10%. The stakes would go all the way down to where the ground is more stable. He noted however that despite it having fallen over there was not much damage to the structure its self, and that it was fine but also noted that no matter how strong the building is a poor foundation can lead to collapse. However according to some sources the building was constructed on a floating raft system which is a solution used when the ground under a building is too soft even for friction piles. He compared the relationship of architects and engineers in Turkey vs Japan. He said that in Turkey the architect is very powerful, for example the boss is an architect and the engineer(s) work(s) for them. In Japan however, he says that since the 1995 Kobe earthquake and the 2011 Sendai-Miyagi
