Who we are

The Committee on the Environment (COTE®) is an AIA Knowledge Community working for architects, allied professionals, and the public to achieve climate action and climate justice through design. We believe that design excellence is the foundation of a healthy, sustainable, and equitable future. Our work promotes design strategies that empower all AIA members to realize the best social and environmental outcomes with the clients and the communities they serve.

GAF x COTE: Looking at the future

“Looking at the Future” is a snapshot of the COTE Student Competition, which each year honors 10 student projects from around the country. Academic design studios use the ten measures that are the basis for the AIA Framework for Design Excellence as the guiding principles of the course. COTE leaders lend their voices to this snapshot of academic innovation and the inspiring work of the next generation of architects. This 2019 video was compiled by GAF, a COTE sponsor.
