One of the world’s most influential designers discusses her vision of architecture as ‘restless’ and in constant motion like the world that hosts it.
Elizabeth Diller is a professor of architecture at Princeton University and a founding partner of the New York studio Diller Scofidio + Renfro (DS+R). In parallel to designing a number of significant architectural works – including High Line, the transformation of the Lincoln Center campus, The Shed and the renovation of the MoMA in New York – DS+R develops independent works for the stage, curatorial and installation projects for museums and public spaces, as well as works for print and alternative media. Currently, the studio is working on an accessible art storage facility for the Victoria and Albert Museum, under construction in London, as well as large urban public spaces in Madrid and Milan.
DS+R curated the exhibition Restless Architecture on view at Museum through March 16, presenting architectural works from the 1930s to the present related to building and mobility. Their exhibition design for Restless Architecture includes kinetic elements that reconfigure the space.
