Recently, PLP’s Lee Polisano was a keynote speaker at UIA - International Union of Architects’s International Forum in Kuala Lumpur. This year’s theme, ‘Diversecity,’ merged the concepts of diversity and city, reflecting the complex and multifaceted nature of urban life. Chiefly centered around Kuala Lumpur—a vibrant and multicultural Asian metropolis, Lee explored ‘Cultural Identity’ as a central theme in architectural discourse. This is especially poignant in today’s context, as architecture and urban spaces grapple with ongoing environmental, climate, social, and economic challenges. #UIA2024KL #Diversecity #UIA
