Restless Architecture by architects Diller Scofidio + Renfro explores movement in architecture: buildings that change configuration, that have mobile elements, that swell or turn to accommodate more or fewer visitors.
The ability to move or change like a transformer is a recurring feature of the work of Diller Scofidio + Renfro, who often also used movement as a platform to connect art and architecture, combining the concepts of building and installation in an experimental way. In their vision, architecture eschews geo-fixity, rigidity, definition, conditioning, immediacy, passivity and stupidity. The new cornerstones of InMotion architecture are mobility, flexibility, expansion, setting, renewability, machinism and intelligence.
Volume edited on the occasion of the Restless Architecture exhibition at MAXXI - Museo nazionale delle arti del XXI secolo in Rome from 25 October 2024 to 16 March 2025, curated by the world-renowned studio Diller Scofidio + Renfro.
