To preserve the old and historic buildings with minimal changes, the base isolation technique presents a good t to the situation. A basic study of the base isolation is done to understand the underlying concepts involved in this idea as implemented to masonry buildings. The basic idea of base isolation is reviewed with implementation using geosynthetics and marble plates. An advanced technique of base isolation in masonry using short masonry rocking piers is then reviewed. With this background of knowledge, we then review some interesting cases of implementation of this concept in real world projects involving some old masonry buildings. Keywords:Masonry Retro tting; Base Isolation; Sliding Isolator; Rubber Isolator
