Running until December 8, the exhibition focuses on the fascinating science behind all things fungus-related, spanning fashion, music and contemporary art.

HaenSuk Yi, Director at PLP, was a guest on Seoul Property Insight’s podcast, from South Korea’s leading real estate publication.

Andrei Martin, Partner at PLP Architecture, spoke with the Architects’ Journal about the co-living sector and where he sees its future.

Andrei has a wealth of experience in designing co-living buildings and has spearheaded the evolution of their design. He led the design of world’s first large-scale co-living building, The Collective Old Oak in west London, and since then has been working to develop the typology.

In a world-first for the real estate sector, a laboratory designed specifically for businesses undertaking AI R&D has opened in Shanghai, China. As the use of AI within business, science and technology grows, demand for R&D is expected to accelerate, and the AI Lab represents a potential new real estate asset class to satisfy this demand. 

PLP Architecture has secured the design rights for an office development project, being developed by SK D&D in Seongsu-dong, Seoul. The project involves transforming the existing SK Gas charging station site into a state-of-the-art office space, with local architect DMP Partners.

Tina Qiu spoke at this year’s Asia Infrastructure Forum in Singapore, about how PLP Architecture and PLP Labs are driving towards creating more circular economies and circular cities.
Her talk is the latest in a series that she is giving across Southeast Asia, where she is speaking to audiences about the importance of designing with circularity in mind.
To accompany her talk, we created the film below to drive home the message that our industry needs to do much more to limit our impact on the planet.
Alongside this, Tina spoke about some of PLP’s landmark sustainable projects, including The Edge in Amsterdam, which was the most sustainable office at the time, focusing on green, smart, and healthy designs, operating nearly carbon-neutral with minimal costs. Also, our Bankside Yard Masterplan in London, which uses a 5th generation energy network to drastically lower the energy requirements through systems that, for example, reuse heat from offices to heat residential water.

Veanna Chan, a Director at PLP Architecture, is a judge at this year’s Inspiring Women in Property Awards.
