Anya Moryoussef Architect

Founded in 2016, AMA / Anya Moryoussef Architect is an award-winning, woman-led studio based in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. AMA is dedicated to the application of empathetic design in architecture and city building at a fine grain. They frame their approach as a combination of archeology and anthropology - equal parts recognition, renewal, and bold, imaginative reinvention - and believe that sensitively observing things as they are is the first step in imagining what they might be.
