The Zigurat Institute of Technology will host the second AI Congress for Architecture & Construction later this month
The online event will bring together AECO experts to explore how artificial intelligence can deliver value in projects through proper data management.
The event reflects Zigurat’s commitment to fostering professional debate on the real impact of artificial intelligence in architecture, engineering and construction.
As artificial intelligence becomes increasingly integrated into design, planning and project management processes, one of the main challenges for AECO organisations lies in data quality, organisation and interoperability.
Without reliable and well-structured data, AI does not simply lose effectiveness; it can amplify errors, lead to poor decisions and directly impact project profitability.
The Zigurat AI Congress aims to address this challenge by exploring how to move from AI experimentation to real operational implementation in projects.
Key topics to be discussed include:
- How to avoid costly AI mistakes caused by poor data management.
- How to organise and connect fragmented project data without increasing technical complexity.
- How to combine human expertise and AI to improve productivity and measure impact through clear KPIs.
Industry experts working at the forefront of construction AI
The congress will take place in three languages to facilitate maximum participation from professionals across different markets:
- 18 March: Spanish and Portuguese editions.
- 25 March: English edition (16h GMT+1).
The congress will feature professionals working at the forefront of artificial intelligence, data and digital transformation in architecture and engineering projects.
The English edition will feature:
- Lilian Ho, associate director digital & BIM lead at AECOM and director of the Master’s in Artificial Intelligence for Architecture & Construction at Zigurat.
- Tiago Caldeira, director of solutions at Contango.
- Sidrah Hassan, AI ethics and strategy adviser at Ethical AI Alliance.
Through their presentations, the speakers will share real-world experiences, operational challenges and best practices for integrating AI into AECO workflows.
The AI Congress is becoming a meeting point for professionals seeking to understand how artificial intelligence can be strategically and safely applied in architecture and engineering projects.
As digital transformation accelerates across the sector, initiatives such as this congress provide an opportunity to examine not only the potential of AI, but also the risks associated with its implementation when data governance is not properly addressed.
