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.

I-Park Accepting Applications for 2018 Architecture/Landscape Design Residencies

  • 1.  I-Park Accepting Applications for 2018 Architecture/Landscape Design Residencies

    Posted 01-09-2018 03:19 PM

    I-Park is now accepting applications for its 2018 artists-in-residence program. Forty-four fully funded residencies are available between May and December, and range in duration from two to four weeks. This multidisciplinary program is open to architects and landscape architects/designers looking to enrich their practice in a collegial, retreat-like setting-in the company of artists working in visual arts, creative writing, music composition/sound art and moving image.

    Located within a 450-acre nature preserve in rural East Haddam, Connecticut (U.S.), I-Park provides residents with private living quarters in a renovated 1840s farmhouse, a private studio, meals program, fully-equipped workshop and modest library-as well as creative access to I-Park's expansive grounds. Residencies are self-directed, undisturbed and non-judgmental. You decide what you're working on and when.

    Residents can use their time at I-Park to work on commissions, competition proposals, dissertations, model building or theoretical investigations. Or they can just take the time to build or plant something on the land, freed from the constraints of a client, a budget, or even a purpose.

    Details and application forms are available at i-park.org. Applications are due January 22, 2018, and carry a $35 fee to help defray the cost of the selection panels. This year, I-Park will also be offering $500 travel grants to eight international residents. For further information, contact info@i-park.org or 860-873-2468.
