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.”DS+R completed two of the largest architecture and planning initiatives in New York City’s recent history: the adaptive reuse of an obsolete, industrial rail infrastructure into the High Line, a 1.5 mile-long public park, and the transformation of Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts’ half-century-old campus. The studio has also completed the 35-acre Zaryadye Park, adjacent to the Kremlin, St. Basil’s Cathedral and Red Square in Moscow.The studio has also worked with global cultural institutions to expand access to the arts. The Broad is a contemporary art museum in Los Angeles offering free admission, whose visitorship reflects a comparatively younger and more diverse contemporary arts audience, while the V&A Storehouse, under construction in London, will bring much of the collection out of storage and into public view for the first time. DS+R also recently completed two projects that have reshaped New York’s cultural landscape:the surgical renovation and expansion of MoMA, which brings the museum’s vast collection closer to the public, and The Shed, a start-up multi-arts institution originally conceived by DS+R.DS+R’s approach to rethinking cultural institutions and civic spaces grew out of self-generated and alternative projects that blur the boundaries between architecture, art and performance. Many of the studio’s independent works engage materials indigenous to the site, from Traffic, a guerilla installation of 3,000 traffic cones organized in a grid in New York’s Columbus Circle to the Blur Building, a pavilion made of fog on Lake Neuchâtel for the Swiss Expo. As co-creator, -producer, and –director, the studio's most recent self-generated work is The Mile-Long Opera, a free, choral performance featuring 1,000 singers atop the High Line that reflected on the alienating speed of change in the contemporary city. The studio has also researched, curated and designed a number of interactive installations covering a wide range of subjects, including: the Costume Institute’s Charles James: Beyond Fashion and Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the The Catholic Imagination, which have recorded two of the highest attendances for any exhibition in the history of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York; The Art of Scent, a sensory exhibition on the olfactory arts at the Museum of Arts and Design; and Exit, an immersive data-driven installation investigating global human migration patterns, most recently exhibited at the Palais de Tokyo in Paris. Diller is currently working on The Hare with Amber Eyes at the Jewish Museum in New York and on an environmental design for Deep Blue Sea, a collaboration with choreographer Bill T. Jones that will debut at the Park Avenue Armory.DS+R has authored several books: The High Line (Phaidon Press, 2015), Lincoln Center Inside Out: An Architectural Account (Damiani, 2013), Flesh: Architectural Probes (Princeton Architectural Press, 2011), Blur: The Making of Nothing (Harry N. Abrams, 2002), and Back to the Front: Tourisms of War (Princeton Architectural Press, 1996).

Diller Scofidio + Renfro（DS+R）成立于1981年，是一家设计工作室，其业务范围涵盖了建筑、城市设计、装置艺术、多媒体表演、数字媒体和印刷等领域。以文化和公民项目为重点，DS+R的工作涉及机构的角色变化和城市的未来。该工作室位于纽约，由100多名建筑师、设计师、艺术家和研究人员组成，由四位合伙人伊丽莎白-迪勒、里卡多-斯科菲迪奥、查尔斯-伦弗罗和本杰明-吉尔马丁领导。DS+R的跨流派工作在《时代》周刊的 "100位最具影响力人物 "名单中脱颖而出，并获得了麦克阿瑟基金会在建筑领域的第一笔资助，该基金会认为迪勒和斯库菲迪奥是 "创造了另一种建筑实践形式的建筑师，将设计、表演和电子媒体与文化和建筑理论及批评结合起来。他们的作品探索了空间在我们文化中的功能，并说明建筑，如果被理解为社会关系的物理表现，是无处不在的，而不仅仅是在建筑中。"DS+R完成了纽约市最近历史上最大的两个建筑和规划项目：将一个过时的工业铁路基础设施改造成高线，一个1.5英里长的公共公园，以及改造林肯表演艺术中心的半个世纪的校园。该工作室还完成了占地35英亩的Zaryadye公园，毗邻克里姆林宫、圣巴西尔大教堂和莫斯科红场。该工作室还与全球文化机构合作，扩大艺术的普及。The Broad是洛杉矶的一家当代艺术博物馆，提供免费参观，其参观者反映了相对更年轻和更多样化的当代艺术观众，而伦敦正在建设的V&A Storehouse，将首次把大部分的收藏品从仓库中带出，进入公众视野。DS+R最近还完成了两个重塑纽约文化景观的项目：MoMA的外科手术式改造和扩建，使该博物馆的大量藏品更接近公众，以及The Shed，一个最初由DS+R构思的初创多艺术机构。DS+R重新思考文化机构和公民空间的方法是从自我生成和替代项目中发展出来的，这些项目模糊了建筑、艺术和表演之间的界限。工作室的许多独立作品都使用了当地的材料，从纽约哥伦布圆环的3000个交通锥组成的游击队装置，到瑞士世博会纳沙泰尔湖上的雾气馆 "模糊建筑"。
