Subterranean Architecture

Subterranean architecture involves designing and constructing structures below the Earth's surface, such as tunnels, underground cities, or basements. It maximizes space in urban areas, offers protection from elements and noise, and can improve energy efficiency by utilizing the earth’s natural insulation. This form of architecture requires specialized engineering to address challenges like moisture, ventilation, and safety. Used for transportation, storage, or living spaces, subterranean architecture leverages the environment beneath the surface, often blending innovative design with practicality to expand usable space while minimizing surface impact.
