I'm trying to find examples of environmentally performative architecture (i.e. air-chimneys, light shafts,wind-catchers, sun-shades, skin conditions)
Does anyone have any good links for these types of projects?

check out EHDD's Center for Global Ecology at Stanford (their site is flash so I could not link to the image)

Not the most innovative form but the systems actually work.
