Listening to a Debate
on Contemporary Dr. MOUHOUBI Nedjima*

* Department of Architecture, Faculty of Technology, Abderrahmane Mira University, Bejaia,


Algeria,[email protected]
Introduction

In today’s globalized world, architecture is no longer about


just aesthetic beauty; it is increasingly focused on
sustainability, environmental responsibility, and innovative
design solutions. The concept of sustainable architecture is
shaping the future of the built environment, with experts
from around the world debating and developing strategies
for creating eco-friendly, energy-efficient, and resilient
structures. In this course, we will engage with a debate on
contemporary architecture, focusing on sustainable design
trends. Students will learn how different experts approach
contemporary and modern architecture, discussing topics
such as green building materials, energy-efficient systems,
and urban sustainability practices.

Dr. MOUHOUBI Nedjima


Introduction

The goal of this session is to not only develop students’


comprehension and listening skills but also help them synthesize
different perspectives on the current trends in architecture. The field
of architecture is inherently global, with designers and professionals
coming from diverse linguistic backgrounds. This multilingualism
brings unique approaches to problem-solving and creativity. For
example, an architect from the United States may emphasize
efficiency and functionality in a design, influenced by the American
practical approach, while a British architect may focus on historical
context and aesthetic harmony, drawing from a tradition steeped in
European design. Meanwhile, an Australian architect might
emphasize environmental sustainability, reflecting the country’s
challenges with climate change and natural resources.
