Climate Action – Design for Ecology

“Design for Ecology is unique among AIA COTE® Top Ten measures in that it focuses solely on nature. Although the strategies presented, such as keeping the night sky dark and minimizing undesirable noises, will improve the environment for humans, this measure asks design teams to think beyond the anthropocentric world of traditional architecture and to design specifically for the rest of biodiversity. ” AIA Framework for Design Excellence
