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.

    Historic Preservation and Sustainable Design in the Etruscan Hill Towns of Central Italy. This program includes 36 AIA-approved HSW Learning Units.  In collaboration with the nonprofit Civita Institute in Italy,  this exciting 10-day program is being offered once more, based in Civita, Perugia and Siena May 6-16, 2020 and will focus on architectural/cultural preservation, sustainability, and modern design interventions in a series of  vibrant and phenomenal Etruscan hill towns in central Italy. Using the Civita Institute historic facilities as the base, with several overnight trips to key locations, participants will connect with local architects, engineers and citizens in exploring important preservation work, the protection of cultural treasures in the phenomenal hill towns of Assisi, Perugia, Tarquinia, Orvieto, Pienza, Cortona and Siena, in addition to Civita, and participate in a "deep dive" into the food, art, wine and beauty of these places. This small group program has very limited capacity. The program summary booklet is also at https://www.civitainstitute.org/1754/current-programs.html.  You can also email programs@civitainstitute.org if interested in learning more.
