The article discusses the unconventional approach of architects Elizabeth Diller and her studio, Diller Scofidio + Renfro, emphasizing the importance of questioning architectural norms. Through their new monograph, "Architecture, Not Architecture," Diller highlights their refusal to adhere to professional boundaries, opting instead to engage in a constant critique of traditional practices. The book, which features over 100 projects across 800 pages, is presented as a project in its own right, reflecting Diller's belief in continually questioning and redefining the essence of architecture.
We don't take professional boundaries seriously. Every time we are handed a program, we tear it apart and continuously ask new questions. Nothing is fixed.
If we were going to do it, we would do it on our terms.
We were always critiquing; we were always throwing grenades at things.
The book's title, 'Architecture, Not Architecture,' is a binary play that characterizes many of DS+R's works.
