So - we are charged with producting a sustainability matrix as part of our building research project. Does anyone know where we can find some good resources to get us started? A template? A check-list? some good examples?
This may be what the prof is looking for you to emulate...
24-7 posted a great quote by MB. This is an important point- your goal should not be to maintain the status quo, we can alread achieve that. Go beyond to create a regenerative building (ie, produces more energy, more oxygen, more clean water then it consumes)- If you havn't read cradle to cradle you won't have a clue as to where to start.
Ed, its too early in your first semester to really worry about technical solutions. don't think about the technology, just think of the effect and concept.

Derive your own definition and matrix on what you believe in, in terms of ‘sustainability’.
i'll bite- Ed, you haven't provided enough information. What is the project, what is the site, what is the studio pedegogy?
BNIM created this matrix for the Packard Foundation Building in San Francisco.
