AEI Conference 2025| Delivering Future Ready Buildings | An Integrated Approach
The Architectural Engineering Institute (AEI) is pleased to announce the 11th Biennial Professional Conference for 2025.
As the building industry races to 2050 to achieve Net Zero, the need to transform the built environment is clear. The building sector generates nearly 40 percent of all global carbon emissions. Urban populations studies have predicted that another 230 billion square meters of new building stock will be needed by 2060.
ASCE’s Future World Vision project allows today’s engineers to reimagine infrastructure for tomorrow’s built environment to get a better understanding of the potential opportunities and challenges that may lie ahead to help shape what the cities of the future might look like. Imagine intelligent living buildings that are powered by big data, artificial intelligence, innovative technologies, and high-performance materials, transform buildings from static entities into smart, strategic assets.
Now is the time to reimagine the buildings of the future that are more adaptive, healthy, and sustainable, and to shape the minds of the next generation to get us there!

About the Architectural Engineering Institute
The Architectural Engineering Institute (AEI) was created by the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) in 1998 to be the professional home of architectural engineers and to address the needs of the architectural engineering profession. The mission of AEI is “to serve the building community by promoting an integrated, multi-disciplinary approach to planning, design, construction, and operation of buildings and by encouraging excellence in practice, education, and research of architectural engineering.”
AEI is a dynamic global community for all professionals in the building industry promoting an integrated, multi-disciplinary approach to integrated building design and construction by encouraging innovation and excellence in practice and education, and in research of architectural engineering.
As students are expected to be the next generation of members, supporting student activities is of strategic importance for the future of AEI. AEI supports a student scholarship, student chapters at Institutions offering Architectural Engineering programs, as well as hosting two annual student competitions: the International Student Design Competition and the AEI Bridge The Gap Student Competition.
Join AEI for conversation and activities and to take part in shaping the future of architectural engineering and advancing integrated building solutions!
