Victor LEE

Victor is the cofounder and Director of Plystudio Architects, a design-driven architectural practice based in Singapore whose approach to design is informed and evolved through research, enquiry, positioning and differentiation. Victor’s preoccupation with simple geometry, organisational typology and material logic has engendered a particular building economy which feature consistently in the work of the practice.

Victor is a registered architect in Singapore and the UK, where he trained at the Architectural Association in London. He has been an invited speaker at the SIA’s annual architectural conference for Archifest, as well as for the South-South Forum for Sustainability (SSFS6) Workshop on Architecture and Urbanism in Hong Kong, with lectures delivered on the topic “Rural Urban Discourses”. Victor was a recipient of the Perspective Hong Kong 40 Under 40 Award and he has also received awards from the Hong Kong Design Association amongst others. His work with Plystudio Architects has led to the firm being selected to exhibit in the inaugural “Small Firms, Big Ideas” exhibition at the AUDE Space, URA.

Victor first taught at Department of Architecture in 2006 and returned in 2019 for his second stint. He aims to engage practice with architectural education and pedagogy as a theoretical platform to ground his work.
