Don't miss the summer edition of COTE news (from the The American Institute of Architects (AIA) Knowledge Community: Committee on the Environment), coming on the heels of the AIA Conference in June (#AIA24). Check out the chair letter by Michelle Amt, FAIA -- her perspective is, as always, thought provoking and inspiring. We also have a great update about the AIA Materials Pledge from Tanya Eagle and Eana Bacchiocchi, a report from the COTE Open Forum from a first time attendee and educator, Brittany L. Williams, AIA LEED AP, and a snapshot of the 2024 COTE Top Ten winners from Lyndley Kent, AIA, LFA (including the Bruner/Cott design for MASS MoCA, shown here in a photo by Michael Moran). And as always, we have a great collection of news and notes and resources from the field. #DesignIsClimateAction https://lnkd.in/gf8c8ADw

Planning and Monitoring Coordinator @ National Training Academy | Project Management, Architecture Design
I'm Glad to announce that months ago, i had participated in the UIA 2030 award, This award is an Organized biennially in six categories and aligned with the World Urban Forum, the UIA 2030 Award invited architects from around the world to submit their projects. These projects were evaluated for their design quality and alignment with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). I had submitted in *Category 6: Promotion, restoration and sustainable use of ecosystems* and weeks ago, I had been quite desperate that I couldn't make to the finalists which were announced and i only made it to the pre-finalists but I'm honored that at this young age i could make it to such an international competition raising the name of my country quite high and receiving an email with such an honorable comment: "Dear Aya Ezzelarab, Thank you for your interest in the 2024 edition of the UIA 2030 Award, organized by the International Union of Architects (UIA) in collaboration with UN-Habitat. Having now concluded the first stage evaluation, we regret to inform your project has not been selected to proceed to the finalists stage. This year’s award attracted over 100 high quality entries from around the 5 regions of the UIA. The finalists will now go forward to the second stage and the winners will be announced at the UN-Habitat World Urban Forum (WUF12). We hope that you will continue to participate in UIA-endorsed prizes and competitions." The competition had assessed regionally, representing the five UIA regions: Western Europe, Central and Eastern Europe and the Middle East, The Americas, Asia and Oceania, and Africa. The selected entries highlight the power of design to address complex social, economic, and environmental challenges, and showcase progress towards delivery of the SDGs through six categories. On a side note the competition is stepped into project submission, assessment for being a prefinalist, assessment as finalists and winners announcement.
The UIA, in partnership with UN-Habitat (United Nations Human Settlements Programme), has announced the finalists for the first stage of the second edition of the UIA 2030 Award. The Award recognises the work of architects who contribute to the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the New Urban Agenda.

So many similarities between the movement for a Common Materials Framework and the movement for consistency in meta data tags for building equipment. Partnerships like this (and trust!) will help unlock the power of data and the next wave of innovation will be incredible.
In an unprecedented collaboration of leading organizations dedicated to sustainable building practices and impact reduction in the built environment, The American Institute of Architects (AIA), the International Living Future Institute, the International WELL Building Institute (IWBI), the U.S. Green Building Council, and mindful MATERIALS have joined forces to align around the Common Materials Framework, which establishes for the first time a common language for holistic material sustainability in the building industry.

Congratulations to mindful MATERIALS on a successful alignment of the The Common Materials Framework (CMF) with major standards & organizations! The CMF is the outcome of the most detailed cross-stakeholder industry effort to date to analyze and organize over 100 of the most common building product and material certifications and disclosures. The CMF gives structure to over 650 relevant sustainability factors identified within these programs. Those factors are organized within the five buckets of health and sustainability referenced across multiple stakeholder materials pledges, including the AIA A&D Materials Pledge, ILFI, IWBI and USGBC programs. By mapping the underlying data and organization of those Pledge statements, the CMF allows signatories of those pledges to navigate and demonstrate achievement on their public commitments. We at Brightworks Sustainability are pleased to have contributed to the CMF’s development as contracted staff to mindfulMaterials through the leadership of our brilliant Jack Dinning and Jeffery Frost. #harmonization #healthandwellness #materialinnovation #circularity #carbonreduction #leadership
