World Plaza

World Plaza is a science topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand World Plaza rather than just read about it. In short: World Plaza is a 27-storey office building in Bonifacio Global City (BGC), Philippines. It is a development of Daiichi Properties with Gensler, the team who also developed the Best Office Development in the Philippines at the Asia Pacific Property Awards, One World Place in 2011.

Key takeaways

World Plaza belongs to science; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect World Plaza to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
Reproduce the core statement of World Plaza from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

World Plaza is a 27-storey office building in Bonifacio Global City (BGC), Philippines. It is a development of Daiichi Properties with Gensler, the team who also developed the Best Office Development in the Philippines at the Asia Pacific Property Awards, One World Place in 2011. World Plaza is a Class A building and a PEZA registered IT Park. It has 18 floors of typical office space, penthouse level, and mechanical deck floor.

Location World Plaza is located along 5th Avenue in the Crescent West District. It is located adjacent to the upcoming ArthaLand Tower and close to the new Shangri-La Hotel in BGC.

Design and features World Plaza's architectural height is 115 m / 377 ft and its height to tip is 115 m / 377 ft. Unlike typical building lots, World Plaza's location is triangular, seemingly rotated in a 90-degree angle.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with World Plaza

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what World Plaza claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to World Plaza before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about World Plaza ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of World Plaza

In research: World Plaza appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses World Plaza in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: World Plaza is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics PEZA special economic zones, Skyscraper office buildings in Metro Manila, Skyscrapers in Bonifacio Global City, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for World Plaza outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
