Embodied Energy and Lifecycle Costs: Questioning (Mis)conceptions about Underground Construction

Philippe Thalmann, Aurèle Parriaux, Michael Robert Doyle

In the construction community, underground construction is perceived as being significantly more costly and more energy-consuming than comparable surface construction. Although the literature is scarce, studies that have attempted to quantify this differen ...

‘Resources to Needs’: A Paradigm for Addressing the Potentiality of the Urban Volume

Michael Robert Doyle

Underground resources are often addressed only out of necessity, leading to conflicts between uses and missing opportunities for productive synergies. The Deep City project is exploring a paradigm of ‘resources to needs’, which considers resource potential ...

Potentialities of the urban volume

Michael Robert Doyle

This dissertation looks at the urban volume, in its natural and artificial materiality, as a source of potential for future urbanization. Underground resourcesâfor buildable space, geomaterials, groundwater and geothermal energyâtend to be addressed on ...

From Hydro/Geology to the Streetscape: Evaluating Urban Underground Resource Potential

Michael Robert Doyle

Despite a persistent call for a greater recognition of the underground in urban planning practices, cities still tend to address underground resources only when the need arises. Historically, this has proven costly for cities that have neglected the potent ...

Underground Potential for Urban Sustainability: Mapping Resources and Their Interactions with the Deep City Method

Philippe Thalmann, Aurèle Parriaux, Michael Robert Doyle

In the process of urban growth, the underground is often only addressed once all surface alternatives have been exhausted. Experience shows that this can lead to unforeseen conflicts (e.g., subsidence, groundwater pollution) and to lost opportunities (e.g. ...

What Future for the Urban Underground? Subsurface and Surface Potential in San Antonio, Texas

Michael Robert Doyle

Underground space provides an opportunity to increase city compactness and pedestrian accessibility through the overlapping of activities in urban areas. The potential for development is not homogeneous throughout an urban area but depends on variations in ...

Making, Mattering, Mapping: Constituting Underground Potential for Future Urban Development

Michael Robert Doyle

The Deep City project at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne has, since 2005, been working on an alternative vision for urban planning in which underground resources (water, space, geothermal energy and geomaterials) enter early on in the ...
