Liza Anesti

About

Liza Anesti is a spatial designer from Greece with a background in Architectural Engineering. Her experience in landscape architecture on archaeological sites, along with a focus on restoration, sustainable materials, and traditional building techniques, shaped her sensitivity to context and craft. Driven to explore how space can narrate human experience, she also combines architecture with her background in scenography and performance. Lately, this interdisciplinary interest led her to experiment with ephemeral installations, moving images, and other narrative techniques, investigating the poetics of space and its impact on inhabitants amid sociopolitical changes.
