There are many awards recognizing excellence in design. Others awards and certification programs recognize environmental performance. Only one program recognizes both: the COTE Top Ten. Now in its twenty-first year, the AIA Committee on the Environment (COTE) Top Ten award recognizes 10 projects that integrate great design with great performance. Keeping with the "ten" theme, the COTE Top Ten application breaks the description of a project into 10 measures, such as water and energy, and asks for a narrative and metrics for each.

If there is proof that history repeats itself, look no further than the town of Flemington, New Jersey. Added to the 2016 List of 11 Most Endangered Historic Places in the United States by the National Trust for Historic Preservation, Flemington is a warning story for small historic towns across America. Located an hour and a half to two hours southeast from Manhattan, Flemington was once the epicenter of the most famous trial of the century — the trial of the kidnapper and murderer of Charles Lindbergh's baby, Bruno Richard Hauptmann.

One day last winter, a small group of architects and designers got some disappointing news: If they wanted to move their offices to Camden, they would have to pay full price. The group of professionals, who were merging several firms into one and preparing to launch as a new company in the heart of the city's downtown, had thought they qualified for the generous tax incentives that have in recent years attracted businesses such as Subaru, Lockheed Martin, and the 76ers to Camden.

The looming mass retirement of the Baby Boomer generation is "one of our industry's most pressing challenges right now," says Michael Strogoff, FAIA, principal of Mill Valley, Calif.–based Strogoff Consulting, which advises design firms. He sees many owners who, after decades in practice, are more than ready to get out of the game. "They put off their plans during the Great Recession and probably a few years after," he says. "So a lot of them have waited a long time."

Dave LeBlanc writes: "When I was little, my parents would take us to antique markets. While much of my 9-year-old brain was preoccupied with Star Wars, I’d pause at tables featuring boxes filled with old stereoscopic cards from the late-1800s and early-1900s. Since many of the dealers didn’t have the viewer needed to see the images in three dimensions, I trained myself to cross my eyes until the two images came together and popped out; with my active imagination, these old scenes of city parks, railroads and exotic locales became tiny worlds to inhabit."

Michael LaValley writes: "When I think of all the late nights trying to work on a project here or there, the one thing I’m grateful for is that I have created a workflow that, well, works for me. As a designer, there are countless different software packages you can use to realize your concept. The trick is understanding what software works for you both from an individual program level and from an overall workflow."
