To shed some light over this, a questioning and a redefinition of those foundations is to become relevant. <em>Temporary Fashion Museum</em>: Lucas Muñoz works together with EventArchitectuur on the spatial design of the <em>Temporary Fashion Museum</em>.</p>Gabriel Maher / EventArchitectuur<p>With a background in interior architecture, Gabriel A.
