Q+A: ELIZABETH DILLER

摘要

In the movie Her, director Spike Jonze tells the story of an awkward loner (Joaquin Phoenix) who falls in love with his artificially intelligent operating system (voiced by Scarlett Johansson). In theaters now, the film is set in the Los Angeles of the near-future-a city full of tall buildings and skybridges, where it is possible to take the train all the way to the beach. In doing press for the film, Jonze has repeatedly credited New York architects Elizabeth Diller and Ricardo Scofidio, AIA, founding principals of Diller Scofidio + Renfro, with helping him devise the feel of his settings. Diller chatted with architect about the film, the uncanny qualities of the near-future, and why she generally prefers murder stories to sci-fi.
