Malcolm Wells: "Why don't we see underground houses all around us? You tell me. The US can today boast only three or four thousand earth dwellings. Inertia was no doubt the cause of such a poor showing but the anti-environmental mood of the Eighties had its effect too. Now there's new enthusiasm, based, this time, on less man-centered concerns. People want to do more than just save energy. They want to lessen the physical impact of architecture on the land."
