This lecture explores the fundamental principles of underground architecture, discussing the reasons for going underground, the development of different underground spaces, and the rules for creating a life underground. It delves into the historical negative connotations of underground spaces, the intersection of engineering, urban planning, and architecture in city planning, and the potential for creating new uses and proximity underground. The lecture also examines the challenges of designing underground structures compared to above-ground buildings, highlighting the importance of reimagining underground spaces as potential hubs for urban life and infrastructure.
