site is dedicated to the promotion and discussion
of:
- underground buildings,
- earth-sheltered architecture,
- eco-friendly design, and
- energy-efficient houses
... particularly the ideas of pioneer architect
Malcolm Wells.
"Is
underground architecture the only way to build
without destroying the land?
Of course not.
"It's simply one of the most promising (and
overlooked) of ways.
"Sunny, dry and pleasant, it offers huge
fuel savings and a silent, green alternative to
the asphalt society. " |

 A
few notes about this web site:
This
site is created by Wendy M. Mathias and hosted
by Blue
Reef Internet Services, with the permission,
help, and encouragement
of Malcolm Wells,
although
he will deny taking any part in this endeavor,
other
than being an amused bystander.
Wherever
possible, Wendy uses Mac's own words. This is indicated
with "quotes", words like "I" and
"We", or explicitly mentions his authorship.
'Handwritten' text, including the masthead, is meant
to reflect Mac's signature handwritten style of most
of his books. Wendy scanned the handwriting and then
rearranged the letters in Photoshop to create page titles. |
