Ken Yeang on Subscrapers

"Groundscrapers and subscrapers are the antithesis of skyscrapers. These are the low and medium-rise buildings that devour the ground plane, spreading laterally outwards as a single large-sprawling built-form, or as clusters and mats of built-forms. In contrast to the skyscraper's morphology that extends vertically sky-wards, these extend horizontally and laterally across the ground plane and below.
