Skyscrapers are the headliners, and underground buildings are
the virtually unnoticed understudies of architecture.
Every day, tens of thousands of Americans use more than 500
public and commercial
structures and 5,000 private homes that nestle within the earth.
Major new subterranean
structures are under construction or are on the drawing
boards.
SubsurfaceBuildings.com explores underground buildings,
examines their impact on architecture and the environment, and
addresses such questions as:
Why would anyone want to bury a
building?
Are underground buildings
safe?
How do architects feel about designing buildings that are
hidden within the earth?
What is the environmental impact of subterranean
architecture?
A dozen SubsurfaceBuildings.com articles use photos, drawings,
and descriptions to answer questions like these
while showing that underground buildings are surprisingly
common and appealing.
