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.

    The https://www.linkedin.com/feed/#" target="_blank" rel="noopener">AIA San Francisco COTE chapter is hosting a terrific online series called "The Great Reset" and the first one is on Monday, July 12 at 1230pm PT. I am really looking forward to this one. See you there?

    THE GREAT RESET Series:

    Event 1: Tools for Design Practice

    How can Architects engage Clients and Design Teams to integrate climate & resilience strategies during the design phase?  Three skilled design professionals respond to this question with a short presentation, followed by a roundtable discussion and audience Q&A. Join us to hear how these practitioners from a variety of firm sizes and backgrounds adopt new approaches while they adapt to design in the Climate Age.
