About our speaker
Elizabeth Diller is the co-founder of Diller Scofidio + Renfro (DS+R). Diller’s cross-genre work has been distinguished with TIME’s “100 Most Influential People” list and the first MacArthur Foundation fellowship awarded in the field of architecture. Besides many internationally renowned projects, she led two cultural works significant to New York: The Shed and the expansion of MoMA.
In her insightful talk, Diller shares many different sources of inspiration that have influenced her work’s vision and style. Among them is follow guest speaker Steven Holl. Being a child of Polish Holocaust survivors that immigrated to the United States, she grew up in Manhattan, the site of many progressive societal movements. She started studying art as she was primarily interested in photography and film but later switched to architecture school when she had discovered her love for three dimensionalities. This is where she met her husband and partner, Ricardo Scofidio, whom she later established an architecture practice with. In her lecture at “AnA” she talks about the ingenious ways she incorporates unique ideas stemming from films into her designs.

Hi from Germany!
I wish I could separate Elizabeth Diller's ideas from the blatantly sexist promotion practices in her studio (0 female principles, over 75% of senior staff is male) and their notoriously abusive working conditions.
Architecture work culture is just rotten to the core, and none of the work makes up for that.
Dear Corey, work culture must be quite hard at DS+R. We remember a preparation call for this event on a Monday morning and Diller was quite KO from the weekend. If founders and senior staff work as hard as the juniors, I would not have a problem with that. What I don't know if I could keep that level of stress for a long time. Here in Germany, architects leave the office at exactly 6pm and rarely work overtime.
0 female principals is something that must and will change in the architecture culture.
For me, if the senior staff
Architecture life in a large firm stinks. I have done it, my friends have done it. When you finish one project the next is different but the same. A lot of my friends as project managers never made it to 70 years old. We would compare it to Lucy on the chocolate belt in I love Lucy episode.
