The article reflects on the contributions of Ricardo Scofidio, co-founder of Diller Scofidio + Renfro, who passed away recently. Renfro describes Scofidio's visionary approach to architecture—a sieve for filtering ideas across generations. Their works, like the Slow House, combine unconventional forms with interactive technologies, reshaping how we experience space. As the studio approaches its 40th anniversary, the impact of its designs on contemporary architecture is acknowledged, emphasizing a blend of art and functionality that invites new interpretations of environment and interaction.
To filter things out - to deliver the good and filter the bad from one generation to the next.
Scofidio's works reconfigured and reframed how we experience space itself, offering a project of practice well worth considering.
Picture if a house were a slug... follow a hallway... occupy its head: a 40-foot picture frame window.
The studio founded by Ricardo Scofidio and Liz Diller in 1979 has authored a clique of dissonant projects.
