The Editor in Chief: Professor Hocine Bougdah

Dr. Hocine Bougdah is the Director of Sustainability and Technical Studies subject area in the Birmingham School of Architecture and Design (BSoAD). Before joining BoAD in June 2022, he was a senior research and teaching fellow in the School of Architecture and Cities at the University of Westminster, London. His academic and professional career extends over 30 years teaching at various UK higher education institutions and practicing as a freelance consultant, in technical studies and sustainability-related topics. His approach to “Technology” is to use it as a design generator/enabler rather than an “add-on” technical resolution to a design proposal. His research interests cover topics such as sustainable design, innovative low-tech/low energy/low-impact buildings, spatial experience of users, and issues of culture, urbanization, and globalization.

Alongside teaching and research, he is involved in scholarly activities through membership of editorial/review boards for several international journals and leading the editorial team (editor in chief) for the Environmental Science and Sustainable Development journal. He is the author of more than 55 publications, including authored books, edited books, journal papers, conference proceedings, conference papers, and keynote presentations.

He is a recipient of the Lux Europa best conference paper for young researchers (1989). Other honors include getting long-listed for the RIBA International Book Award (2007) and an entry into the Who’s Who for Science Engineering (2009).

He is a member of a number of learned societies/professional bodies including the Royal Society for the Arts (RSA), the Association for Computer-Aided Design In Architecture (ACADIA), World Society of Sustainable Energy Technologies, (WSSET), the Institute of Acoustics (IOA) and the UK Higher Education Academy
