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.

    What's the May news from COTE, you ask? 

    Check out this month's letter from the AIA Committee on the Environment chair, Julie Hiromoto to find out about the great jurors for this year's #COTETopTen (winners will be publicly announced on Thursday!) and find links to AIA #climateaction progress, as the pandemic sharpens clarity about public health and the other curve that needs flattening.

    If you and the COTE members in your chapter are missing the monthly COTE email that's because KC communications from AIA have been on pause while COVID-19 communications take precedence. Never fear ... content is coming your way regardless ... and we hope to be back to newsletters in the coming months.
