Caroline and Sabri Farouki, partners behind New Orleans-based studio Farouki Farouki, bring a personal and global perspective to their practice. Caroline grew up in Lafayette, Louisiana in a home designed by Louisiana architect A. Hays Town, known for pioneering reusing materials. Surrounded by antiques and architectural details, her passion for design started early. She studied architecture in college, but shifted to environmental studies with a minor in architecture before earning her master's in fine arts in interior design from the Savannah College of Art and Design.Sabri, born in Tulsa, Oklahoma, spent his formative years in Egypt, attending an American international school in Cairo. His exposure to varied cultural environments shaped his worldview of what design could be. After completing his undergraduate studies at Washington University in St. Louis, where he met Caroline, he went on to earn his master's of architecture from Columbia University in New York.The pair launched Farouki Farouki in 2015 after working at acclaimed firms like AvroKO, Diller Scofidio + Renfro, and Bjarke Ingels Group. Today, their firm balances architecture and interiors across a range of hospitality projects, including the recently opened Hotel Henrietta in New Orleans and the Hotel Indigo Grand Cayman.Thank you for listening!

Sustainable construction reaches new heights as we explore groundbreaking mass timber projects transforming skylines worldwide. The architectural landscape is dramatically shifting toward renewable materials, with Boston University's ambitious 12-story Global Studies building leading the charge as the East Coast's largest mass timber structure. This stunning Diller Scofidio + Renfro creation promises expanded green spaces and innovative climate systems when construction begins in 2026.Across the border, Canada continues pioneering tall timber construction with two Toronto marvels: the T3 Bayside development stands as North America's tallest mass timber office building at 42 meters, while Limberlost Place at George Brown College welcomes students as Ontario's first tall timber institutional building. Both structures demonstrate how sustainable materials can create beautiful, high-performance spaces in urban settings.The corporate world embraces this revolution too, with Walmart's headquarters campus in Bentonville now boasting the largest mass timber application in the United States. As Mercer Mass Timber's Nick Milestone explains, these projects deliver impressive environmental benefits—including 20-40% reduced carbon emissions compared to traditional materials—while creating stunning workplaces. Meanwhile, New Zealand has announced an ambitious $4 billion, 75,000-seat stadium in Rotorua that will showcase mass timber's structural possibilities in large-scale venues. These developments across educational, commercial, and recreational sectors signal a fundamental shift in construction priorities toward sustainability without sacrificing beauty or function.Join our growing community of sustainable building enthusiasts by subscribing to the podcast, sharing our content, and connecting with us on LinkedIn to see the stunning renders of these revolutionary projects.

The future of sustainable construction is unfolding right before our eyes as groundbreaking mass timber projects transform skylines across the globe. From university campuses to international airports, innovative architects and forward-thinking organizations are embracing wood as their material of choice.Boston University leads the charge with an impressive 70,000 square foot timber building designed by celebrated architects Diller Scofidio + Renfro. This interdisciplinary hub will focus on sustainable futures while transforming a former parking lot into a vibrant campus center. Meanwhile, the Canadian government demonstrates serious commitment to green building with a $4.5 million investment supporting multiple timber construction projects throughout Ontario.Global construction giant Skanska continues to cement its position at the forefront of sustainable building, securing three major contracts worth a combined $139 million. Their projects span continents and sectors – from a nine-story office in Sweden to a school in Norway and a healthcare facility in California. Equally impressive is BIG's design for the new Galafoo International Airport in Bataan, which showcases stunning glulam timber structures set against subtropical forests and mountain ranges. Not to be outdone, New Zealand contributes to the timber revolution with a new Christchurch office building featuring 114 eight-meter timber columns that prove wood isn't just sustainable – it's structurally superior, with almost double the strength-to-weight ratio of steel.Want to be part of this exciting movement? The Mass Timber Conference in Portland, Oregon is approaching quickly. With over 200 exhibitors and numerous expert speakers (including past podcast guests), it's the premier event for anyone passionate about the future of sustainable construction.

Anders Lonka, one of the three founder partners of ADEPT, a young Copenhagen-based firm with office also in Hamburg, is the guest of this new appointment. After a rich, extensive work experience at MVRDV, Diller Scofidio+ Renfro, New York and Cebra, he taught for several years at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, School of Architecture and from 2006 he dedicates himself, with his young multidisciplinary team, to an architecture focused on developing a real interaction with the city, as a large community, synthesised in the concept ‘place over building'. Our conversation starts sharing his professional beginnings and considering the difficulties that young architects have to face, deciding to run an own practice and we continue by deepening the concept of an architecture as open process rather than a defined typology, which is fundamental in their design approach. The new Aarhus School of Architecture, a flexible and innovative ambience conceived to become an active, experimental incubator for architectural exploration, with the ambition to evolve due to the mutual influence of the surrounding urban environment, the street and the people, is another topic of interest followed by Braunstein Tap-house, a distinctive proposal that, above is extremely attractive formal expression, embodies an important story, born according to the possibility of a limited lifespan. Sustainability, a ‘must' in every intervention of the practice, is analysed in relation to innovative solutions they have adopted, including the upcycle of leftover construction materials extended from Aarhus School building to the external hardscape. The polycentric human-scaled vision for a typology of new sustainable urbanism related to 80 ha urban development in Cologne, Germany, suggested by their new winning proposal, WoodHood, expands their concept of sustainability. Stadtmuseum, an intervention just started, concerning the transformation of a protected building in central Berlin, left for more than 20 years neglected, and the strategy internally adopted of ‘a box in the box' conclude our talk.

Strong leadership is the secret sauce of strong companies. You may be the most creative and most groundbreaking firm on the planet. But if your teams don't work well together, if they spend too much time on the wrong parts of the process, and if they don't keep clients happy—you'll see subpar results. In this Best Practice interview, Holly Deichmann and Zoe Small, Associate Principals at Diller Scofidio + Renfro, share exactly how good managers can uphold the business: by empowering employees, setting up processes that manage client expectations, and maintaining just the right amount of anxiety to keep everyone on their toes. Interview Takeaways Embrace anxiety Take off some of your hats Diffuse the smallest icebergs first Cap off the creative process Get input early on Make time for actual work Be persistent in your creativity Repurpose, rather than reinvent Show, don't just tell Take time to establish trust initially Match the right people to the right project Prep clients for their responsibilities Show Links Connect with Zoe Small on LinkedIn  Connect with Holly Deichmann on LinkedIn Check out Diller Scofidio + Renfro Connect with George Valdes on LinkedIn or Twitter Connect with Chris Morgan on LinkedIn  Check out Monograph Follow Monograph on LinkedIn or Instagram Listen and read more about Monograph

A conversation with Andrew Bertics about the Rice Architecture Preceptorship Program and his experience working for Diller Scofidio + Renfro in New York.

In the last century, we started to design our buildings in a way that was divorced from the environment. We made sealed, hermetic structures that never moved and never changed. But now, technologies and materials are allowing our buildings to move, evolve, and even respond — not only to their environments, but to us, too. In this episode, hosts Eric Jaffe and Vanessa Quirk discuss the past, present, and future of responsive architecture with Sidewalk Labs' director of public realm Jesse Shapins, engineer and microclimate expert Goncalo Pedro, "Bubbletecture" author Sharon Francis, and renowned architect Liz Diller of Diller Scofidio + Renfro. For a link-rich transcript of this episode, click here.

Emmanuelle Bourlier is the co-founder and CEO of Panelite, as well as a mother and skater. Emmanuelle co-founded Panelite while in grad school at Columbia University 21 years ago. From its inception, Panelite was so innovative that it was used in a project by Moneo Brock that landed on the cover of the Spanish edition of Interior Design magazine. From there, Panelite was quickly sought after by elite firms like Diller Scofidio+Renfro and OMA. In this episode, Emmanuelle and I talk about her journey with Panelite, and she shares a lot of wisdom about entrepreneurship and life in general. In particular, I think Emmanuelle's approach to skating has a lot of parallels to running a business. It's inspiring to see such a brave, curious, and passionate woman as a CEO. If you're interested in finding out more about female skating in Los Angeles, Emmanuelle and her son are taking lessons from legendary skater Pat Ngoho, and she mentions a few resources: Grlswirl in Venice, Girl is Not a 4 Letter Word, founded by pro skater Cindy Whitehead, and The Cove Grls, which hosts bi-monthly girls’ skate sessions.

“I believe architecture can never really be finished,” says this founding partner of Diller Scofidio + Renfro, designers of the High Line, the Shed, and the well known so much more. But she is not creating monuments to eternity. “I think of buildings that could be repurposed or reimagined – rescripted later.” A conversation at the Center for Architecture, with music from Mamie Minch.

Martino Stierli took over as MoMA's chief curator of architecture and design in 2015, when the museum was already undergoing major changes. Diller Scofidio + Renfro's redesign was underway, and the architecture and design galleries faced something of an uncertain future in the expanded museum layout. On the podcast, Stierli dispels the rumors that the galleries would be closed permanently, and discusses MoMA's strategies for exhibiting architecture, as well as his plans to diversify the museum's collection.  

The High Line is a public park built on a 1.45-mile-long elevated rail structure running from Gansevoort Street to West 34th Street on Manhattan's West Side. The High Line used to be a freight rail line, in operation from 1934 to 1980. It carried meat to the meatpacking district, agricultural goods to the factories and warehouses of the industrial West Side, and mail to the Post Office. The High Line design is a collaboration between James Corner Field Operations (Project Lead), Diller Scofidio + Renfro, and planting designer Piet Oudolf.
