Elizabeth Diller and Ricardo Scofidio

摘要

Elizabeth Diller, 54, and Ricardo Scofidio, 74, once described architecture as slow and cumbersome. Their work is anything but. The husband-and-wife team's creative fearlessness results in design that defies categorization. The emergence of Diller Scofidio + Renfro (Charles Renfro was added as a name partner in 2004) on the global stage of built projects is something to be celebrated.rnAt the Institute of Contemporary Art in Boston, the architects floated the galleries in the sky, creating a public space beneath that embraces the waterfront. For the High Line in New York City, the first phase of which opens in June, they invented a paving system to repurpose elevated train tracks into a public park, colonizing forgotten crevices of Manhattan.
