Ecology & Design: Ecological Literacy in Architecture Education 

01-26-2017 11:39 AM

This report and proposal are the result of the American Institute of Architects (AIA) Committee on the Environment (COTE) Ecological Literacy in Architecture Education (ELAE) project.  A planning grant from the Tides Foundation’s Kendeda Sustainability Fund set the project in motion. The goal was to assess the state of ecological literacy and the teaching of sustainable design in architecture education as part of a proposal for a large-scale, long-term effort, led by the AIA COTE, to inject ecological literacy and sustainability principles into architecture education in the United States. The education-focused effort would be concerned largely with schools of architecture, as well as other venues where students and practicing architects might learn about ecology and design. This is the report.
