Anna Livia Friel
is an Italian-Irish architect based in Venice. Her interest in the public sphere led her to projects about the social experience of the city. She has designed several “transitorial spaces” in the form of itinerant pavilions and lighting design projects. She took part in the 14th Venice International Biennale of Architecture with the research group Ground Floor Crisis. Their project focused on the transformation of private and public spaces in historical cities. Long on the move between Venice and Donegal, Anna is presently living in Paris and preparing her next move, to Beirut, where she will pursue doctoral research.
