"Founded by Oliver Thomas, the ATN Summit is the first flagship conference of the Archi-Tech Network, marking five years since the platform began as a grassroots initiative to share real-world architectural knowledge. Taking place on March 18-19, 2026, in London, the ATN Summit brings together architects, technologists, and industry innovators to explore how emerging technologies are reshaping architectural practice. Designed as a high-production, ideas-driven event, the Summit reflects ATN's evolution from an informal online conversation into a global platform actively engaging with the future of the built environment."
"Archi-Tech Network was founded in 2021 by Oliver Thomas while he was working at Bjarke Ingels Group. At the time, Thomas observed a widening gap between architectural education and professional practice, particularly in relation to technology. While leading firms were rapidly developing advanced digital workflows internally, much of this knowledge remained inaccessible to students and early-career architects. At the same time, online tutorials were often disconnected from real-world practice, offering simplified or misleading representations of how architecture is actually produced."
Archi-Tech Network began in 2021 when Oliver Thomas created a platform to share real-world architectural workflows and career insight while at Bjarke Ingels Group. ATN identified a widening gap between architectural education and professional practice, with advanced digital workflows kept internal to leading firms and online tutorials often oversimplifying real-world production. ATN grew from Clubhouse live podcasts into YouTube content, live talks, studio tours, and other offerings, building global demand for transparent, experience-led knowledge. The ATN Summit on March 18–19, 2026 in London is the organization's first flagship conference, designed as a high-production, ideas-driven gathering of architects, technologists, and industry innovators.
