The ATN Hackathon is a 26-hour innovation sprint bringing together architects, designers, engineers, and technologists to experiment, collaborate, and build new ideas at the intersection of architecture and technology. Over one intensive weekend in London, participants form interdisciplinary teams, define a challenge, and develop a working prototype, from concept to live presentation. The goal isn’t perfection. It’s momentum. It’s about testing ideas fast, pushing boundaries, and learning by doing.
The ATN Hackathon is a carefully curated event designed to bring together a strong mix of skills, perspectives, and levels of experience.
Alongside invited participants from leading architecture practices, technology companies, and digital design teams, we are releasing a limited number of tickets for:
We are looking for participants who are:
You do not need to be a professional developer.
You do not need to have a pre-formed team.
But you do need to bring energy, openness, and a willingness to contribute.
Due to limited capacity, public tickets will be reviewed to ensure a strong mix of skills and backgrounds across the room.

His experience within one of the world’s most inventive design studios brings a strong culture of experimentation and cross-disciplinary collaboration to the hackathon.
The ATN Hackathon is a structured, high-intensity innovation sprint designed to move teams from idea to working prototype in just 26 hours. The weekend begins with rapid idea pitches and team formation, bringing together architects, designers, technologists, and developers to tackle real challenges within the AEC industry — from AI-assisted workflows and automation to new tools, systems, and spatial technologies.
Once teams form, the focus shifts immediately to building. Participants collaborate to define a clear problem, develop a focused solution, and create a functional prototype or proof of concept. Mentors circulate throughout the day to challenge assumptions, support technical execution, and help refine ideas. The goal isn’t perfection — it’s clarity, ambition, and momentum.
On Sunday, development stops and teams present a tight 5-minute live demo to judges and fellow participants. Projects are evaluated on technical ambition, innovation, openness, and potential impact. By the end of the weekend, every team leaves having built something real — and having experienced the speed, collaboration, and experimentation that define the future of practice.
