Smart Sustainable Pavilion
Project
A sustainable pavilion was conceived to host the School of Architecture’s degree show at Nottingham Trent University. Leveraging parametric design and artificial intelligence across RIBA Stages 0 to 3, the project prioritised sustainability and design efficiency through data-informed early decision-making.
Designed as a temporary yet reusable structure, the pavilion aspires to serve as a dynamic exhibition space. Its adaptable form fosters the ongoing exchange of ideas, strengthening the university’s engagement with the broader Nottingham community.

Digital Transformation in Mexico: A Framework for Advancing Architectural Education
Technology has transformed many industries, improving efficiency and collaboration through digital tools. However, the construction sector has been slower to adopt innovations like BIM, AI, Digital Twins, Cloud Computing, and Augmented Reality. These technologies can enhance planning, reduce errors, and improve communication among teams. While some countries have accelerated digital adoption through national strategies, progress varies globally. This study aims to develop a framework to help Mexican universities better teach digital skills in architecture and construction by reviewing international practices and current local curricula to support the industry’s digital future.
