Scofidio, Ricardo

Ricardo Scofidio is a professor at the Irwin S. Chanin School of Architecture at Cooper Union since 1965. Scofidio formed Diller+Scofidio in 1979 with Elizabeth Diller at Princeton Unviersity. Diller+Scofidio is a collaborative team involved in interdisciplinary work that incorporates architecture as well as the performing and visual arts. They look at how media culture privileges unmediated transmissions (live or "real-time" events) and present work that occupies the space between actual and technological time: "live" and prerecorded broadcasts, "real-time" and computer-based imagery.
