3.0 Living space into land use by Function
The major functions to be applied underground together with subcategories of use are illustrated (fig 8) .In underneath surface space utilization is used with two categories with People-oriented uses and product-oriented uses to be the functions of underground. In major functions it have been separate by 5 major, it has residential, nonresidential, infrastructure and military.
One of the designs for the residential of people-oriented uses mostly of them used it for single family or multifamily to living at the space .Besides that level of the ground for the residential mostly are from surface to underground normally from 7feet to 10 feet. For example show as below figure 11.

On the other hand, category of non -residential for people –oriented uses for religious, recreational, institutional and commercial but to product-oriented uses mostly use for industrial, parking storage and agriculture. For example the categories of non-residential for people –oriented show as below figure 12 and for product-oriented show in Figure 13 &14.

Besides that underground also can be infrastructure like transportation of passengers in public transportation, transportation of goods, utilities, energy disposal and mines. For example as below figure 15, it using for saints People to do their research and figure 16 it using for the train transportation in berlin.

Underground space design can protectthe environment and more environmental friendly than the surface.Designs in surface will create more negative impact to environment. Undergroundarchitecture will be more environmental friendly and functional to the humanity.it have a lot of usage for humanity and different usage has a different way to save out environmental.
3.1Solution for Lighting Problem
While lighting is only one of many considerations in the interior design of a building, it isan importance issue in the design of living into land spaces. The underground design have been lacking on the natural lighting because there are no windows, there is a sense of confinement underground. There is not natural light direct into the space which makes the people feel the darkness and coldness. This is the main issue for the underground space design for the humanity but now days artificial light slowly become more technological it will help us to light up the darkness space. It helps a lot in our future to brighten up the exterior to make us to feel more comfortable in to the space. Come to the next paragraph will be describe and show an example of pattern how underground design light up from the natural light and artificial light.
3.11 Natural Light through windows and skylights
Because underground architecture is near to the surface, windows and skylights can provide natural light into the interior to let the people realize there is a main focus thereto focus on it. In (figure 17), it shows that skylight can provide natural light to the upper floor of an underground structure. From the atrium space from the image u can see the natural sun light penetrating further into lower levels of the structure? The space surrounding the void has been provided with natural9*sunlight which will affect the brightness of the whole space. (Figure18&19)

On the otherhand, current Artificial light has become very useful for interior design. It has a lot of way and design to create the light effect it to the space. For example down light, florescence’s light and other. For example on (Figure 20). Design artificial lighting it helps a lot to the natural light. Natural sunlight used can’t be whole day to help brightened up the interior space a, different season different weather have different tones of light to expos into the space.
Underground architecture should use more electric to support the lighting, solar function can be used as our second energy to back up or use it when we have an emergency. If a huge building need to have huge among of energy resource,it can use the power of water to create energyinto the underground .it is more environmental friendly to our mother earth. Malaysia is a good location to use solar because it is a tropical country where most of the weather is hot; this is a good way to protect our environment.
3.3 Help Ventilation
On the other hand, Living into ground space has poor ventilation and Flood problem in tropical country. The spaces from underneath have been surrounded by soil and less opening from the surface. This is the big issues for those Tropicana countries like Malaysia, they need more mechanical system helping to pump up the heat from the ground to surface and recycle the oxygen from the surface to ground something’s like a recycle progress. A few years ago, underground architecture has been facing this issue, but now mechanical system is more technology in underground buildings. Itprovides a high level of thermal comfort, an acceptable humidity level, and adequate ventilation to overcome air quality problems, it have more detail refer to Appendix 3.
Another opinion, solution for every problem like Ventilation does have good ventilation inside ground space. The problem depends on how the design helps the natural ventilation come into the underground space. For example from the (figure 13) it shows that inside the ground design creates more opening to let the air come into the space which will help in good ventilation because it has the coolest air from the underground space thus, heat go up to surface. Other alternatives, underground building can create a hole to let nature connect with the underground space and also can create smooth ventilation into underground.
3.4 Flood Problem In tropical country
Survey has been doneat Appendix 4concluding that most people are worry about the flood problem in tropical country, if we living into land. Basically Malaysia do have a good and huge underneath water tunnel drain system to pump out all water to the sea but we only have a small drain besides the road . In Malaysia mostof country are surrounded by sea .This the reason why we wanted choose underneath design it can use for a lot of way. If have a good excretion water from the surface why not have a design living space into the landat tropical country. For example in western country they have a good excretion water system in underground their less flood then us, itcan’t said their didn’t have any rain season but they have winter season once winter season have pass by the ice have become water so they also will facing flood problem when ice have been melting the water is going down to underneath water tunnel, future detail it show at Appendix 5.
Tropical country have raining season which is good for us ,we can use water to create energy to our country which can also bring those energy into the underneath living space design to cover if once the electrics stop .citizen not need worry about the darkness place living into ground . If we have a good excretion water system why not we rescale the building and have a living space into ground to replace high rise of building.

4.0 Conclusion
In conclusion, I have been going through a study and research with living into ground is a great deal for the Malaysia country. Because now a days the population keep increase per year and the space of the land keep more space to fill up the population and the developers keep thinkingto build high rise building to cover the population but they didn’t think about the humanity. Its building will give a good functional to humanity and save environmental? If we keep build high rise building in the surface just will create more air pollution, bad ventilation and climate problem in to that area. Why not try to rescale it.
We should start to rescale the building and have a living space into ground and the building should blend with the natural landscape design .it will save environmental and humanity. If we do not want to save the earth and keep destroying the weather no matter how well the green design is also can’t have good ventilation and good climate temperatures range in the country. Why not now starting has some living space into the ground or other functional like transportation and machine system, electrical building and other, build into the ground to reduce the pollution and protection to surface.
Rescale the green building design and create a living space or functional into ground with more protection ,environmental friendly and attraction to humanity to less using vehicles use walk at the street and it will be more healthy to the humanity . Having a Good design is for helping to environmental and humanity, it is a good solution to save our current global warming problem. If we save earth we will have less flood problem, natural disaster and climate issues.
