Diller + Scofidio
Diller+Scofidio is a collaborative husband-and-wife design team formed in 1979 by partners Elizabeth Diller and Ricardo Scofidio. The interdisciplinary works of this husband-and-wife team unites architectural design, performance and electronic media with cultural and architectural theory and criticism. The firm balances thematically driven experimental work in the form of temporary and permanent site-specific installations, multi-media theater and electronic media and print, with commercial and cultural architectural projects as well as housing and urban planning.
Diller+Scofidio have received numerous awards including the first fellowship to be awarded to architects from the MacArthur Foundation, MIT’s McDermott Award for Creative Achievement, the James Beard Foundation Award, a Progressive Architecture Award and a Chrysler Design Award for Innovation in Design. Elizabeth Diller is a professor of Architecture at Princeton University and Ricardo Scofidio is Professor of Architecture at Cooper Union in New York
