Introduction

The rapid growth of world civilization will have a significant impact on the way humans live in the future. As the global Population are increasing and the space of land will decrease one of these days. The high-rise building is continuing to be the trend to fit the population it will definitely make the earth become worst and environment impact will even have green design like solar wing tube or other. It causes every country demand higher standard and mineral resources to sustain this growth and to provide more food, energy and mineral resources to sustain the growth. According to Raymond sterling (1993), problem of doing this compounded by three broad trends; the conversion of agricultural land to development uses; the increasing urbanization of the world`s population ;and growing concern for the maintenance and improvement of the environment ,especially regarding global warming and the impact of population growth. Now a days, problem of this three broad trends have been become more serious problem until the global warming become serious thanbefore. It has become more serious because Skyscrapers building and vehicles are making the environment worst and complicated. The increase of high-rise building is because of the rapid growth of human population, space saving the land to create more entertainment to the citizens. Therefore why not start with underground space utilization to helping the three threads. It definitely will be more environmental friendly if underground architecture is practice in Malaysia.
Underground architecture has been created a long time ago but they didn’t notice that was a good design for our future. Construction of underground architecture has been around for thousands of years, mostly developed through mining and more recently through transport, housing and commercial industries. Underground architecture brings more profit to our environment, when construct it will reduce the effect to our environment or like the dangerous transportation or building can be build underground which is more safety then building in landscape. Underground architectures will bring more benefit to other country which has the problem of Natural disasters but now days they are lacking on the space to build. Why is other country free off any Natural disasters effect on their country? What makes them into starting the design or underground architecture?Can Malaysia start to build down or redesign some spaces turning them into underground? It more benefit for our future hope and safety design environments to be carried out to solve these problem.
Humanitywith landscape building
Now a days the industrial in Malaysia architectures keep wanting to build the high-rise buildingupwards to fit the population for the city, but they just think about their own self profit without helping to solve the problem such as transportation, lifestyle, safety, ventilation, and pollution .it makes the urban suffer the fate of global warming, it doesn’t completely bring humanity together, the architecture just feed the human what they need.
But for the underground architecture it can bring humanity together compare to landscape building because landscape building keep rise up the level of the building to fit the population but they didn’t realize thatthe scale of the building will block off the sun light into the area, causing the city to become more darker and extreme heat at the afternoon period. Besides that, it will affect a lot of pollution when that area is surrounded by the high rise building. For example sound pollution from the traffic jam, bad air circulation and others. On the other hand, underground architecture can help to solve the problem; rescale a few floor of the building to go underneath in the landscape it will no longer have the problem of the air ventilation.
New Green Building
On the other hand, green building design started popping up in 20centuary, what they do is using the apply green grass on top the high-rise roof building to save the environment become more better. Do they make the humanity together with the landscape building and helping them to solve the environmental problem? For example If surrounded with all the high rise building with green design and using metal and glass to be their main construction materials, once the sun light reflect on the building materials it causes the area to become more hot and air ventilation become worst because of the metal reflection . This urban landscape design does not help human to solve their problem but creating more environmental issue to human.
If we start to rescale the building downwards, it definitely will make the ventilation become better. In the human eyelevel point of view, it will be attracting them when they stroll by the building, feel the green comfortable design; this is not only a good idea and breakthrough for the designers but also for the well-being of the citizens. Besides that, designer should work with human issue and the building issue together to solve current global warning problem. If the green building design is friendlier with environment why does designers starts to choose underground architectures, is it really greener and more environmental friendly than green building design.
 In this essay, the aims and objectives will be to identify how Skyscrapers building are making the environment worst and complicated and how underground architecture give more benefit to humanity and environmental problem. The argument in this research paper is:What was the initial ideal andpotential physical benefitof having underground architecture, does it concern profits more than the beauty and aesthetic value of the landscape design itself? Does the underground architecture help the humanity to solve their problem and creating a better and safer future ecosystem for us?
