The Lagos State University of Science and Technology (LASUSTECH) held its second inaugural lecture, delivered by Professor Oladipo Ayodeji Dare‑Abel of the Department of Architecture. In his presentation titled “Vision, Patterns, and Expression: Trajectory to Environmental Sustainability”, Prof. Dare‑Abel called for increased investment in creativity within the technology sector, stressing that true innovation emerges when artistic imagination and scientific reasoning converge. Tracing the roots of technological advancement to what he described as “timeless creative wisdom,” the Professor explained that creativity has historically driven design principles in architecture, enabling professionals to combine beauty with functionality. He highlighted the evolution from manual design processes to computer‑aided tools and diverse software, noting that such integration ensures creative elements contribute meaningfully to the built environment. Prof. Dare‑Abel further emphasized the importance of collaboration among professionals, particularly through online platforms that allow talents to connect across geographical boundaries. He urged policymakers and academic institutions to remove barriers hindering the fusion of creativity and technology in Nigeria, pointing out that such synergy is essential for building experiential societies and advancing organic architecture.
