Elizabeth Diller is a founding partner of Diller Scofidio + Renfro (DS+R), a New York-based design studio whose practice spans the fields of architecture, urban design, installation art, multi-media performance, digital media, and print. Liz’s cross-genre work has been distinguished with Time Magazine’s “100 Most Influential People” list and the first MacArthur Foundation fellowship awarded in the field of architecture. She is leading two cultural works significant to New York: The Shed—the first multi-arts center designed to commission, produce, and present all types of performing arts, visual arts, and popular culture – and the expansion of the Museum of Modern Art (both opening 2019). Liz is also directing and producing The Mile-Long Opera, a free performance featuring 1,000 performers staged along the High Line. Most recently, DS+R was selected to design the Centre for Music, which will be a permanent home for the London Symphony Orchestra, and a new collection and research centre for the V&A in Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. Liz is a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Letters, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and an International Fellow of the Royal Institute of British Architects. She is Professor of Architecture at Princeton University.
