Thursday 3 January

Elizabeth Diller and Richard Scofidio established the architectural firm of Diller + Scofidio in the late 1970s. For fifteen years they focused on performance; collaborations with choreographers, writers, and directors; and architectural projects realized in an art world setting. Considered among the most "brainy" and unique architectural teams working today, their media-based work expands the conventional boundaries of architecture.

In this video, the architects take viewers on a tour of their mid-career retrospective at The Whitney Museum, "SCANNING: the aberrant architectures of diller + scofidio." They discuss their ideas and approach. The exhibition presents some of their smaller works, including several installations, models, and concept renderings for larger projects, giving insight into the team's design process.
