Malcolm Wells the father of modern earth-sheltered
architecture.""I...began to design underground buildings in 1964.
Now, 35 years later, in spite of my having lectured at almost
every U.S. architectural school, been on network tv, and written
15 or 20 books on the subject, underground architecture is still
virtually unknown. So much for my effectiveness." See the
resources page for lots of great info ! *** !!!
