About MUFU

MUFU Architectural Performance Studio is a design and research office operating at the intersection of architecture and performance. We focus not only on performance space design but also explore the eventfulness and performative qualities of everyday spaces. Our design practice spans urbanism, architecture, landscape, interior design, installation, and exhibition. We offer services in spatial design, performance producing, and educational training.

Our projects have been shortlisted at the World Architecture Festival and showcased in leading theatres and museums internationally — including Teatro La Fenice (Venice, Italy), Bauhaus Museum Dessau (Dessau, Germany), Festspielhaus Hellerau (Dresden, Germany), China Design Museum (Hangzhou, China), Power Station of Art (Shanghai, China), Guan Shanyue Art Museum (Shenzhen, China), and Crafts Museum of CAA (Hangzhou, China).
