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.

    "Climate change is a reality. The current pandemic is its partner. The world has been turned upside down and we all are now facing a new reality that we have for so long avoided or denied. We have no choice but to try to change the world as we know it." 

    For the June COTE news, we talked with Billie Tsien, AIA, of Tod Williams Billie Tsien Architects. She is one of the new 2020 AIA Committee on the Environment (COTE) Advisory Group members, and she shared perspectives on sustainability, her firm's approach, and more.
