Colombia quake spotlights four construction technologies for resilience

The article highlights four construction technologies—likely seismic isolation, energy dissipation, lightweight materials, and modular construction—that, while pre-existing, now have a real-world proving ground following the earthquake in Colombia. The piece is forward-looking, suggesting these methods will be adopted for reconstruction. It signals a shift toward resilience-focused building standards in a seismically active region, though specific quake details and adoption timelines remain unspecified.
