Architect Ricardo Scofidio, whose work co-designing museums, art venues and public spaces — including New York City’s famed High Line — reshaped America’s cultural landscape, has died age 89.
A statement posted to the website of Diller Scofidio + Renfro, the influential architecture practice he founded alongside wife Elizabeth Diller, said Scofidio had a “profound impact” on its work, adding: “The firm’s partners and principals … will extend his architectural legacy in the work we will continue to perform every day.”
The company did not specify a cause of death but said Scofidio died peacefully on Thursday “surrounded by family.”
