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.

Women in Sustainability Design the Future podcast: Mara Baum, FAIA

    Are health and design on your mind? In this week's Women in Sustainability Design the Future podcast, Lindsay Baker and I spoke with architect Mara Baum, who leads HOK's global health and wellness design practice. We talked about the important shift in sustainability to center human health, how healthcare design can inform other building types, and how being part of a movement helps her keep moving forward. 

    Thank you to Acuity Brands and its Women in Sustainability program, and to Morgan Phelps and Karen Doss Becker
