In an era of iconic skylines and social media worthy architecture, buildings are often celebrated for how they look.

For Asst. Prof. Muna Alsukkar, great architecture is about more than making a visual statement. It should prioritise human comfort, respond to its surroundings, and work with the local climate rather than against it.

Drop your thoughts on today’s architecture in the comments. We’d love to hear your perspective.

What do today’s architecture students have that previous generations did not?

According to Asst. Prof. Muna Alsukkar, advances in technology have transformed the way students learn. From online lectures and tutorials to a wealth of digital resources, knowledge is now more accessible than ever.

But with greater access comes greater responsibility. She encourages her students to think critically, question what they learn, and always consider who they are designing for.

A timely reminder that technology alone does not create great architecture. It still requires strong design thinking, thoughtful decision making, and a clear understanding of the people who will use the spaces we create.

“It develops a lot faster, and goes a lot further, if there’s lots of people working together.”

As academia becomes increasingly connected, meaningful impact often comes from engaging with different perspectives, building strong professional relationships, and contributing to a broader research community.

The most influential work is rarely achieved in isolation. Instead, it grows through collaboration, open exchange of ideas, and a shared commitment to advancing knowledge.

What role has collaboration played in your academic journey?

The way we design buildings and cities shapes how we live, travel, consume energy, and experience our environment.

But are we funding the right research to create better outcomes?

We asked Prof. Lucelia Rodrigues from the University of Nottingham to share her perspective on what built environment research gets the most attention and what is still being overlooked.

Swipe through for her key insights.

More than 600 million people in Africa still live without reliable electricity. In Kibera and Kangemi, Nairobi, energy poverty affects everyday life, from education and safety to cooking and local livelihoods.

The African SCENe project, led by the University of Nottingham and Strathmore University-Official , explores how schools can become community energy hubs. Supported by Innovate UK’s Energy Catalyst Round 9, the project worked closely with local communities to co-design a model where schools generate solar energy during the day and support wider community use after hours.

Across over nine schools, solar PV systems are being introduced to support computer access, adult learning, clean electric cooking, and solar powered water systems. Projects like this show how research in energy and the built environment can extend beyond infrastructure, supporting communities in practical and lasting ways.

“AI is a tool, but it can’t replace the human.”

Prof. Lucelia Rodrigues offers a nuanced perspective on the role of AI in academia. When used transparently to support creativity, communicate ideas, or refine written work, AI can be a valuable tool. However, it cannot replace critical thinking or the originality that underpin meaningful academic work.

As AI becomes increasingly integrated into higher education, the challenge is not whether to use it, but how to use it responsibly, ethically, and in ways that enhance rather than diminish human contribution.
