ABSTRACT
As cities have grown denser, it seemed only natural to extend skywards. However, the sky is not the limit: Cities need to start looking downwards to adapt to new circumstances and reach the next level of existence. Earth is our only home and that humankind faces enormous challenges. To overcome these challenges we need to focus on how spaces underground can contribute to more sustainable and resilient cities. At the same time we need to break out of our existing paradigms and transition to new ways for space use. The aim of paper is to describe a case study presenting the project of a Hypogeum stadium located into a desert area. The authors, through this project try to reply to above mentioned requirements.
