Description
Since the beginning of human existence, housing is considered one of the basic elements for survival and protection from difficult natural conditions. The purpose of this research is to treat underground homes, as a new form of residence. In addition, the study will seek to discover the underground houses that were developed in Switzerland, China and Greece as constructions and that have gained good results in the field of housing, integration of outdoor construction, design and saving energy. The research is intended to serve as a basic, basis for informing the typologies, advantages, and disadvantages of the underground houses. Kosovo, after the last war (the year 1998-1999) had a major impact on the development of construction in urban areas as well as in rural areas. Moreover, the topic addresses the advantages and opportunities of underground houses that can be developed in our country, which of the typologies is preferred based on research and conditions such as the extent of the land, climate and culture that our country possesses. The research reaches to the result of the definition of typology, its function, and the project proposal that can be considered adequate under the country\s conditions.
