Aberrant Architectures? Diller + Scofidio at the Whitney Museum

Most Popular • Documentary, Special Interest, 01-Jan-2003

Elizabeth Diller and Ricardo Scofidio established the architectural firm of Diller + Scofidio in the late '70's. 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 intellectually unique architectural teams working today, their media-based work expands the conventional boundaries of architecture. Determined to widen the realm of architectural creation, Diller and Scofidio produce groundbreaking, original work that holds a mirror up to the society that consumes it. In Aberrant Architectures? Diller + Scofidio at the Whitney Museum the team walks us through their mid-career retrospective, presenting a variety of pieces and providing insight into their design process.
