Visit to HOOP
Zhao Zhong, one of the partners of the office has been our guide to the work and perfomance of this local firm with around 100 employees.
This is an interesting visit to discover new developments in Pudong Area and to visit a completely chinese managed office working for chinese clients but trying to be known and with a really nice office environment.
The visit has started visiting the buildings around the Kerry Parkside building to have an idea about the development of the area around the Shanghai International Expo Center, which is filled with high level 5 star hotels with really good details and commercial centers looking like european standards as Kerry Park or Jumeirah Hotel Pudong. The area is surrounded by the "Shanghai Central Park" alias, Century Park, and by the Maglev Station, which gives an idea about the relevancy of this area in Pudong.

Visit to PDM Internation office in Shanghai
PDM International office is in
Shanghai
This was an interesting visit to see
something different to big scale. In China due to the ownership of the land by
the government, the most valuable thing for the clients is the Interior design
strategy and concept, and thats why this office in China is mostly doing big
offices and retail, hospitality, and out of China is doing some architecture.
Is a totally different scale and is interesting to see how they can control the process they are doing.
