One of the world’s most influential designers discusses her vision of architecture as ‘restless’ and in constant motion like the world that hosts it.

Elizabeth Diller is a professor of architecture at Princeton University, and a founding partner of the New York studio Diller Scofidio + Renfro (DS+R). The studio curated the exhibition Restless Architecture at MAXXI, resulting from a career-long exploration of movement as an innate property of architecture.

In addition to being the designer of ‘groundbreaking’ architecture such as the High Line, the Lincoln Center, The Shed and the MoMA renovation in New York, DS+R are creators of performances and installations that have strongly influenced the contemporary design imagination. The studio’s exhibition design for Restless Architecture includes kinetic elements that reconfigure the space.
