Wednesday the AIA Committee on the Environment (COTE) announced the recipients of the 2017 COTE Top Ten Awards. The announcement marks the 21st year of the program, which recognizes buildings that wed superior design and sustainable performance. It also follows on the heels of the AIA’s release of “Where we stand: climate change,” a set of eight principles guiding architects’ response to global warming.

“I think these are incredible role models for architects—they address climate change in aggressive and progressive ways,” Top Ten juror and International Living Future Institute CEO Amanda Sturgeon says of the honorees.
