I think I might make the roof flexible.
Yes, making the roof flexible is a valid strategy to design an earthquake-safe structure. A flexible roof can absorb and dissipate the energy produced during an earthquake, reducing the likelihood of collapse. This can be achieved by using materials with high elasticity or incorporating flexible joints and connections in the roof structure.
