RE: Vertical Architecture : The Role of Skyscrapers in the 21st Century
Great thoughts and ideas here @roswellrockman! I think one of the biggest hinderances here would be cost. Excavating below-ground is insanely expensive when you compare with constructing above-ground. You're dealing with so many unknowns below grade. Perhaps, you could argue that there's a geothermal benefit that may (one day) outweigh the burden of the construction costs. We'll see!
