The one-day experience

Three experiences. One connected journey.

Each part builds on the one before it: understand emerging AEC technology, learn through a guided project, and apply the learning under challenge conditions.

01

Morning

Future of Design

PropTech & Spatial AI

1.5–2 hours

An interactive industry session—not a lecture—that connects today’s classroom learning with the technologies reshaping architecture, engineering, and construction.

What students explore

Spatial AIGenerative AI in architectureAI-assisted design2D-to-3D workflowsVisualizationDigital twinsAI agents & MCPThe future of AEC technology

Outcome

Students understand emerging technologies they may not currently encounter in their curriculum.

02

Mid-day

Build with AI

Hands-On Design Workshop

2.5–3 hours

Every participant receives a real-world client requirement and works through the design journey with guidance from Zlendo’s architect and Spatial AI/Product team.

What students explore

Outcome

Every participant creates something tangible during the workshop.

03

Afternoon

AI Design Challenge

Create. Compete. Present.

2–2.5 hours

Students receive a surprise architectural problem statement and limited time to solve it using Zlendo Realty and what they learned during the day.

Outcome

Students apply the day’s learning to a practical problem and receive industry feedback.

Why colleges choose it

More than a workshop. A complete AEC learning day.

The format is designed to introduce emerging technology without losing sight of design thinking, practical application, or student creativity.

Industry context, not another lecture

Students see how Spatial AI, PropTech, digital twins, and AI agents connect to the future of AEC.

A real requirement, not a feature demo

The central workshop is built around solving a client brief. Zlendo Realty is the design environment, while learning by building remains the focus.

Guidance from a multidisciplinary team

Zlendo’s architect and Spatial AI/Product team guide students through design decisions, technology, and presentation.

Recognition and industry feedback

Participants receive certificates, top teams present to an architect jury, and winners receive dedicated recognition.

Built around “learn by building”

One real-world client requirement. One complete design journey.

Students do not simply watch Zlendo features. They make decisions, develop an idea, produce visuals, and communicate a solution while our team guides the process.

Frequently asked questions

Planning your Future of AEC Day

What is Zlendo Realty – Future of AEC Day?+

It is a one-day college experience combining an interactive future-of-design session, a hands-on AI design workshop, and a timed innovation challenge. The program connects Spatial AI and PropTech concepts with practical design work.

Who is the program designed for?+

The experience is designed for students in architecture, interior design, civil engineering, construction, and related built-environment programs. We coordinate with the college to understand the participants’ level before the event.

Is this a Zlendo Realty product demonstration?+

No. Students use Zlendo Realty during the activities, but the focus is learning by building: interpreting a requirement, developing a design, visualizing it, and presenting the result.

What will students create?+

During the guided workshop, participants move from a client brief through floor planning, 3D development, AI-assisted design, elevation or interior work, rendering, and walkthrough creation. The exact brief can be aligned with the student group.

Are certificates included?+

Yes. The experience includes participant certificates, with additional recognition for the winning teams in the AI Design Challenge.

How can our college request a Future of AEC Day?+
