The AIA Committee on the Environment (COTE) seeks to publish
white papers on specific topics that relate to the COTE Measures of Sustainable Design.
COTE seeks white paper submissions from architectural educators,
practitioners, and colleagues from the allied professions (interior
designers, engineers, sociologists, hydrologists, ecologists,
etc.). The authors may not be manufacturers or
manufacturers’ representatives. Authors may not
write about subjects that are specifically related to the
product or service of the sponsorship organization.
Authors are invited to submit abstracts of 200-600 words along with
their contact info and basic credentials (not more than 2 pages
total). Selected authors will receive $1,000. Volunteers currently
serving in any official capacity with COTE are ineligible for
stipends. Past chairs and others who have served
previously are eligible.
COTE will accept submissions year-round and will review the
submissions on a quarterly basis according to the following
schedule:

If commissioned, authors will have three months to produce
papers of 1,000 to 4,000 words in Word format with images.
AIA staff will review the submitted content, and authors
will have a chance to see any suggested changes. White papers will
be published on the COTE web site (and Soloso), where they will be archived
for at least two years. They will also be featured as the lead
story in an issue of COTEnotes, which goes out to 9,000
AIA COTE members, and COTE will offer the paper to other Knowledge
Communities and other sources as well.
At present, there is no budget for images. AIA/COTE will work with
authors to reach out to firms on this subject as appropriate.
Authors are encouraged to consider the AIA COTE Top Ten winners as
candidates for inclusion in their papers (access to images from
those projects will be facilitated by COTE).
COTE will commission at least one (1) and as many as four (4) white
papers in 2008, depending on how many submissions are received
and on how many sponsors can be secured.
Please send submissions to Shaw Hubbard at shawhubbard@aia.org.
