Just a phrase in Australia. With sprawl and car use untamed and planners and regulators too weak, the actual Architecture is onlt the smallest fraction of the 'eco' solution.

wow...how amazing...i have been set the same question too!!!

if your deadline happens to be on monday too this is probably all a bit late but personally i think a new orthodoxy is appearing but not through concious design, more through a vernacular development that occurs when new technologies must be somehow intergrated into buildings. architecture can no longer responsibly be of the 'cookie cutter' variety that is not climatically responsive. anyhow, hope you get it finished in time as i know i'm cutting it a bit fine. good luck!!
