“To be an architect, you have to be a mind reader. You have to be an archaeologist. You have to be a psychiatrist and psychologist. You have to be a dreamer and a poet. And you have to be a politician also.” - Elizabeth Diller Check out Liz's recent interview with the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art's Louisiana Channel, in which she discusses her background and early influences, her approach to design, public space and cities, architecture and memory, various DS R projects, and so much more: https://lnkd.in/eVZFtzfk #LouisianaChannel #LouisianaMuseum #NewYork #architecture #publicspace #art
About us
Founded in 1981, Diller Scofidio Renfro (DS R) is a design studio whose practice spans the fields of architecture, urban design, installation art, multi-media performance, digital media, and print. With a focus on cultural and civic projects, DS R’s work addresses the changing role of institutions and the future of cities. The studio is based in New York and is comprised of over 100 architects, designers, artists and researchers, led by four partners—Elizabeth Diller, Ricardo Scofidio, Charles Renfro and Benjamin Gilmartin. DS R's cross genre work has been distinguished with TIME’s "100 Most Influential People" list and the first grant awarded in the field of architecture from the MacArthur Foundation, which identified Diller and Scofidio as, “architects who have created an alternative form of architectural practice that unites design, performance, and electronic media with cultural and architectural theory and criticism. Their work explores how space functions in our culture and illustrates that architecture, when understood as the physical manifestation of social relationships, is everywhere, not just in buildings.”
