Diller Scofidio + Renfro (DS+R)
Led by four partners —Elizabeth Diller, Ricardo Scofidio, Charles Renfro, and Benjamin Gilmartin— who work collaboratively with a staff of over one-hundred architects, designers, researchers and artists.
Founded in 1981, DS+R is a New York design studio that spans the disciplines of architecture, landscape, visual arts, exhibition design and technology.
DS+R has designed two of the largest architecture and planning initiatives in the recent history of New York City: the High Line, one of the world’s most emulated public spaces for its re-purposing of a 2.4 km long elevated train tracks into a vibrant park; and the renovation of Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, which transformed the barren and fortress-like complex into an active agent in the public life of its neighborhood and the City.
In Moscow, they recently completed Zaryadye Park, the first large-scale park to be built in the city in the last fifty years. In London, the Tide is a 5-kilometre network of public spaces and gardens embedded into the daily rhythms of London’s Greenwich Peninsula.
