Ricardo Scofidio dies at 89

Scofidio made innovative designs from early in his career, but his broader impact only emerged after co-founding Diller, Scofidio+Renfro in 1979. The firm (that included his wife) won public and cultural commissions, most notably the 2009 conversion of an abandoned train track into New York’s High Line park. His work on both sides of the Atlantic helped “reshape the museum landscape” and secured his reputation as a “seminal” architect who “altered the way people see museums”. An interview is here.
