2023 AIA COTE Top Ten for Students Competition

rchitects play a crucial role in addressing both the causes and effects of climate change through the design of the built environment. Innovative design thinking is key to producing architecture that meets human needs for both function and delight, adapts to climate change projections, continues to support the health and well-being of inhabitants despite natural and human-caused disasters, and minimizes contributions to further climate change through greenhouse gas emissions. 

As with the COTE Top Ten award for built work by design professionals, COTE Top Ten for Students allows designs to be characterized in terms of 10 measures ranging from Community to Water to Wellness.

Ten winning students and their faculty sponsors will receive cash prizes totaling $13,500. To learn more, please visit https://bit.ly/2023COTECompetition
