Liza Fior is a founding partner at muf architecture/art LLP. Since 1996 muf has established a reputation for pioneering and innovative projects that address the social, spatial and economic infrastructures of the public realm. Their practice philosophy is driven by an ambition to realize the potential pleasures that exist at the intersection between the lived and the built.
