The American Institute of Architects (AIA) and its Committee on the Environment (COTE) have announced that the Special NO 9 House designed by Philadelphia-based architects KieranTimberlake, with New Orleans firm John C. Williams Architects as executive architect, has been named a ‘Top Ten Green Project' for 2010. The house is one of thirteen single-family homes designed by prominent architectural firms for Make It Right, an organization founded by actor Brad Pitt to provide storm-resistant, affordable, and sustainable housing for the residents of New Orleans' Lower Ninth Ward displaced by Hurricane Katrina. The COTE Top Ten Green Projects program, now in its 14th year, celebrates projects that are the result of a thoroughly integrated approach to architecture, natural systems and technology.
