Summary

The subject of this research is the architecture of underground houses, whose basic tool is the ground and topography. In this frame, anonymous underground civil constructions are studied throw out the years. This constructions who which were built by anonymous but admirable buildings have appeared since the dawn of civilisation. What are the reasons for the emergence of anonymous underground structures, what are the characteristic and what are the design principles which are been illustrated? More over the main subject of this research is the presentation of modern buildings during the last twenty years, modern examples of undergrounds holiday houses constriction which reciprocate with the ground and are perceived as one with this. Then classifications in term of structure are attempted by detecting similarities and differences from the past up to modern days. How much do they look alike or how much they differ from the current models with those of the anonymous builders? Which are the reasons that modern people choose to live underground? In which ways modern architecture handles the ground and manages to be a solid one with topography and the location? Which are the needs of creating one ablative architecture and not a prosthetic one? This research paper attempts to find answers to these questions.
