| I think you should continue with this idea. Currently this notion of "green architecture" is a very hot topic. I have taken a course on environmental architecture and have realised there is a lot you can do with it. If you can try to get a hold of a book called "Green Architecture" by James Greene. It is not specific to interior architecture, but rather to the building as a whole. I am not sure if this is what you are looking for, but I think it might be helpful in give you more idea on what exactly to focus in on for your thesis. The book is filled with examples of "green buildings." |

| I have read a book entitled "Green Architecture" by James Wines, but I am not familiar with a book of the same title by a James Greene. By the way, there's another book also entitled "Green Architecture" by Michael J. Crosbie. |

yeah i think you mean 'green architecture' by james wines...
anywho...william mcdonough is a good example, he does alot of work with interiors for his buildings b/c he tries to deal with air quality issues and stuff like that, so there is alot of R&D put into the materials and construction of the interiors of his buildings |
