Team

AI PlanetWorks was founded by a team of veteran architects led by David Malott, former Chairman of the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (CTBUH) and KPF design principal. While at KPF, the founding team completed numerous tall building projects together, significantly the 600-meter tall Ping An Finance Center. Together with a dynamic team of young architects based in New York, Shanghai, and Barcelona, AI PlanetWorks is a global community where each team member’s ideas and concepts are openly discussed, explored, and continuously improved.
