Exploring the Framework for Design Excellence

AIA Middle Tennessee

Join AIA COTE and four local architecture firms exploring measures from The Framework of Design Excellence

Join AIA COTE and four local architecture firms exploring measures from The Framework of Design Excellence with real-life project examples. Discussion to include the Framework’s relationship with the newly rolled out Common App award submission process for Middle TN. <a href="https://www.aia.org/resources/6077668-framework-for-design-excellence" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"></a>In 2022, AIA of Middle TN joined many other AIA chapters across the US in utilizing the &quot;common app&quot; as part of the awards submission process.
 The Common App is a suite of consistent project data entry fields that cover both general project information and performance metrics. All are measures from the AIA&#x27;s Framework for Design Excellence, which is a framework to guide Architects to consider broader environmental, social, and economic
 stewardship across the field of Architecture. <a href="https://www.aia.org/resources/6077668-framework-for-design-excellence" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Framework for Design Excellence - AIA</a>
For this session, we will start with an introduction and recap of the backstory to the common app, as well as provide a high-level review of the 10 measures from the AIA&#x27;s Framework for Design Excellence (FDE). Then in a fast-paced round robin have 4 of 2022&#x27;s award applicants/winners, share short project case studies highlighting their use of the FDE, lessons learned and what they look forward to exploring next on
 future projects.Featured firms:Smith Gee StudioMoody NolanManuel Zeitlin ArchitectsLyle Cook Martin Architects
This session is intended to be inspirational, educational, and to encourage wider adoption of the FDE.
Why does the &quot;common app&quot; matter? The performance metrics included in award applications will serve as a standing reminder of the importance of incorporating high performance strategies into all design projects. The Top Ten Toolkit is available as a resource to help all firms understand and leverage these strategies in their design work.


The goal of the Common App for Awards Alignment program is three­ fold; to align awards programs to support the values of the Institute, to simplify the process of multiple award submissions so that firms of all sizes and resources can fairly
 compete, and to collect, track, and make available to the membership consistent data of our work. By providing award juries with broader and more consistent performance information, projects may be evaluated more holistically in multiple aspects of performance.
