Malcolm Wells

Malcolm Wells the father of modern earth-sheltered architecture. I began
to design underground buildings in 1964. Now, 35 years later, in spite of
my having lectured at almost every U.S. architectural school, been on
network tv, and written 15 or 20 books on the subject, underground
architecture is still virtually unknown. So much for my effectiveness.
