Have you tried looking up Renzo Piano at all? You would be on the right track anyhow.

You may want to try the Architecture magazines such as Architectural Record or Architecture.

www.architecturemag.com

www.archrecord.com

They have some links that may be useful to you.

You could also look into the topic of building science.

 

Good luck

SEIF,

 

Take a look in your school library for a book called "The Technology of Ecological Building" by Klaus Daniels. The publisher is Birkhauser. It's a very clear and informative overview of ecological principles in architecture.

 

Also, for a great (very well designed in Flash) primer on these principles, go to http://www.ecotect.com/ecotect.html and go through the links on the left side of the page. They develop a software package called Ecotect which might also be useful to you. Good luck,
