15．While most houses are built up from the ground，a geotect builds an earth-sheltered house in a shallow hole or against the side of a hill．The floor，walls and roof are made of concrete blocks instead of brick，stone，or wood．Large，strong windows brighten the sunniest side of the house．The house looks quite ordinary until a geotect hides it with a deep layer of earth．On top of the earth，a geotect may plant grass or a garden．
Modern geotects are not the first house-hiders．For thousands of years，people from China to North Africa to France have dug underground homes．The Anasazi，a Native American people，once lived round pus （坑） covered with logs and mud．Later，American pioneers like Lanura Ingalls Wilder made"dugout"homes in the banks of rivers．
Geotects work hard to make their houses bright an airy．They put fans in each room to draw fresh air．Large windows are designed so that sunlight pours through them； some windows rise above the roof like glass bowls．Earth-sheltered homes may have indoor gardens，even indoor swimming pools．
A geotect's job isn't easy．Each home he or she builds needs very strong walls to support the weigh of the earth will cover it．Channels and pipes must be laid around the house to suck away rain and ground water．The geotect then has to coat the walls and roof with a special waterproof （防水的）skin．Besides，geotects must also watch their windows-if they don't fit in their frames，spiders and other insects can slip in．
Despite the trouble，geotects love their homes because they're quiet，fireproof，and strong enough to last hundreds of years．Earth-sheltered houses also keep the countryside green and beautiful．Best of all，they help keep the air clean．
