See you all at COTE Celebration at Convention...
There is much to celebrate! It’s the 17th year of the Top Ten Green Projects Awards, the inaugural COTE Top Ten + Award, and the 23rd anniversary of COTE promoting design thinking that deeply engages the natural world. Join AIA colleagues and allied professionals to toast the 2013 AIA/COTE Top Ten Green Projects Awards recipients at the 2013 AIA National Convention and Design Expo.
The AIA Committee on the Environment is passionately committed to the belief that now, more than ever, architects have an historic opportunity to employ the transformative power of design to help lead our society to a just, sustainable future for all.
This year’s Top Ten Green Projects include a range of project types, such as single and multifamily housing, education projects, mixed-use community projects, office spaces and government projects. The COTE Top Ten Green Projects program celebrates structures that use a thoroughly integrated approach to architecture, natural systems, and technology to provide architectural solutions which protect and enhance the environment. Entries are examined in regard to their design and innovation, integration with their community, land use and effect on site ecology, bioclimatic design, energy and water use, approach to light and air, materials and construction, long-life considerations, and feedback loops. This year’s entrants also included information on their cost and payback analysis as well as their design process.
