National Underground America Day
## On may 14, it is national underground america day in the United States, and it is celebrated every year on may 14.
Architect Malcolm Wells' "unofficial" National Holiday was established in 1974 by architect Malcolm Wells. Wells (1926 – 2009) is regarded as "the father of modern earth-sheltered architecture" in the United States. Wells, who was also a writer, illustrator, draftsman, cartoonist, columnist, and solar consultant, did what he preached by living in a modern earth-sheltered building of his own design. He accepted the challenge of underground architecture because he believed the Earth's surface was "made for living plants, not industrial plants."
Wells, who died in 2004, Wells continued his struggle against underground living until the end of his life.
Happy underground america day!
