Elizabeth Diller and Ricardo Scofidio (known as Diller + Scofidio) are the first architects to win a MacArthur Prize–the so-called "genius grant." They are particularly well known for their contributions to electronic art and performance. In 2002, they completed the "Blur Building", a lake pavilion entirely enveloped in mist, at the Swiss Expo 2002. In 2003, they were the subject of a major retrospective at the Whitney Museum entitled "SCANNING: The Aberrant Architectures of Diller + Scofidio."

In 2004 Charles Renfro was made a partner and they have since been known as Diller Scofidio + Renfro.

Elizabeth Diller teaches at Princeton University and her husband, Ricardo Scofidio, teachers at Cooper Union.
