Join us for an evening of film, conversation and insight at PLP Architecture’s new studio in Whitechapel - designed with circular design principles.
We’ll open the event with the premiere of The Architect Series by THE PLAN – a new 30-minute film that explores PLP’s studio culture, design ethos and the thinking behind our new workspace. The screening will be followed by a live panel discussion with Founding Partners Lee Polisano and Ron Bakker, studio designer Michael Polisano, and Dr Ana Gatóo from Cambridge Transformation Labs, moderated by THE PLAN’s co-founder and editor Nicola Leonardi.
Together, they’ll unpack the design challenges, sustainability strategies and cultural ambitions that shaped this project – one that reused 92% of materials, saved 175 tonnes of CO₂ and offers a replicable model for circularity in the built environment.
The event is hosted by PLP Architecture, THE PLAN and Iris Ceramica Group.
What to expect:
- An exclusive film screening offering behind-the-scenes access to PLP’s practice and studio.
- A candid panel discussion exploring the real-world application of circular design principles.
- Reflections on how architecture practices can lead industry change – and what’s needed next.
