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 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. In 2019, the studio completed two more projects significant to New York: The Shed and the renovation and expansion of The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA). Most recently, the studio was also selected to design: the Centre for Music, which will be a permanent home for the London Symphony Orchestra; a new collection and research centre for the V&A; and a new home for The Hungarian Museum of Transport.Recent projects include the 34-acre Zaryadye Park adjacent to the Kremlin in Moscow; The Broad, a contemporary art museum in Los Angeles; the Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive at the University of California, Berkeley; the Roy and Diana Vagelos Education Center at Columbia University in New York; The Juilliard School in Tianjin, China; and the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Museum in Colorado springs, Colorado. DS+R's independent projects include the Blur Building, a pavilion made of fog on Lake Neuchâtel for the Swiss Expo; Exit, an immersive data-driven installation about human migration at the Palais de Tokyo in Paris; and Charles James: Beyond Fashion at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
