Leaders from the AIA Philadelphia and AIA Pennsylvania COTE (Committee on the Environment) will be logging on Tuesday 8/25 from 12-1pm and Wednesday 8/26 from 5-6pm. Don’t miss your chance to pose your questions on the nuances of completing the spreadsheet based on AIA’s Framework for Design Excellence measures that both the AIA Philadelphia Design Awards and AIA Pennsylvania Architectural Excellence COTE Awards require for entry.
