Muriel Lamb
Muriel Emily Lamb (née Sanders; 20 February 1911 – 29 August 2010) was a New Zealand architect. She was one of the first women in New Zealand to set up her own architectural practice.

She was educated at Diocesan School for Girls, and later in Hawkes Bay at Woodford House, where she studied sculpture, music, art and painting.

A person ( : people) is a being that has certain capacities or attributes such as reason, morality, consciousness or self-consciousness, and being a part of a culturally established form of social relations such as kinship, ownership of property, or legal responsibility.

In addition to the question of personhood, of what makes a being count as a person to begin with, there are further questions about personal identity and self: both about what makes any particular person that particular person instead of another, and about what makes a person at one time the same person as they were or will be at another time despite any intervening changes. The plural form "people" is often used to refer to an entire nation or ethnic group (as in "a people"), and this was the original meaning of the word; it subsequently acquired its use as a plural form of per ...
