دوستان احتمالا اتودها و اجراهای خانه‌های سرامیکی نادر خلیلی رو دیدین. البته یه روز سعی می کنم یه پست کامل رو هم به ایشون و کارهاش اختصاص بدم.
با دیدن این پست یاد اون کارها افتادم. هر چند همه مون می دونیم که رفتار سازه ای این خانه ها با هم خیلی متفاوته و اصولا با دونگاه متفاوت هم ایجاد شدن ولی در هندسه نزدیک به هم هستن.
Living underground sounds disturbing  - cavernous designs, claustrophobic images of cramped quarters and fuzzy pictures with low light levels come quickly to mind. A well-planned underground home, however, can be designed precisely around these problems to have all of the advantages of a cozy and private above-ground house as well as the sustainable and structural benefits of an fully-enclosed living space – entirely under the surface of the Earth.
William Lishman sums up the design advantages nicely: “Why build underground? There are many advantages to earth integrated architecture. With the earth as insulation, heating and cooling energy requirements are significantly reduced, especially in windy areas. Underground homes offer protection from storms, never have to painted, shingled or have the eaves troughs cleaned out! Underground architecture is unobtrusive, leaving clear views, and can be covered with gardens and lawns.”
Lishman has lived in his own incredible underground home design for decades now with the pictures to prove it. Despite the advantages of living underground he cautions potential builders that the costs can be high upfront though there are energy and other savings that amount to offset that initial expense over time. Also, it is of course incredibly difficult to fit square appliances and hang rectangular frames in spherical rooms and on rounded walls.
His eco-friendly earth home consists of a framework of steel trusses covered in spray-on concrete and covered with tar and a layer of plastic for water protection. Built-in modular path designs make it possible to upgrade electronic, internet and plumbing systems over time. Though a lot of work went into the initial design and construction of his unique home it has clearly been a rewarding experience overall and the result is a stunning house hidden underneath a hill.
