PLP Architecture’s President and Founding Partner, Lee Polisano, delivered a keynote address at the International Union of Architects (UIA) 2024 Forum in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. This year’s forum, themed ‘DiverseCity,’ explored how urban design can support sustainable growth while embracing cultural and natural heritage.

In his speech, Lee shared insights into the disruptors reshaping the cultural iconography of our cities and how PLP Architecture is designing for the future. Drawing on PLP’s recent projects, in Southeast Asia and around the world, Lee highlighted the importance of fostering cultural exchange and community connection in the built environment.

We are proud to have contributed to this vital conversation and thank the UIA for continuing to lead global efforts in advancing architecture as a tool for social, cultural, and environmental progress.
