Giancarlo Mazzanti has over 25 years of professional experience, and his studio, El Equipo Mazzanti, located in Bogotá, has gained recognition for its design philosophy based on modular and systemic approaches. This methodology generates flexible elements capable of growing and adapting over time, aiming for an architecture that aligns more with the concept of strategy rather than a finite and closed composition. This architectural idea as an operation stems from exploring various forms of material and spatial organization, considering concepts such as repetition, indeterminacy, incompleteness, instability, arrangement, and patterns.

El Equipo Mazzanti is also noted for its research on play and its connection to architecture. This interest in the relationship between play and architecture has led to new collaborations with professionals from various fields, discovering new opportunities for cooperation and developing projects and exhibitions presented worldwide under the brand We Play You Play.

Social values are at the core of Mazzanti’s architecture, as he aims to create projects that enhance social transformations and build communities. He has dedicated his professional life to improving quality of life through environmental design and the idea of social equality. His work has become a reflection of current social changes occurring in Latin America and Colombia, demonstrating that good architecture can build new identities for cities, towns, and inhabitants, transcending reputations of crime and poverty.

DS+R gained international prominence after completing the Blur Building, a pavilion made of mist for the Swiss Expo 2002, and the highly influential High Line in New York. The studio has designed significant urban public spaces around the world, including the 35-acre Zaryadye Park adjacent to St. Basil’s Cathedral and Red Square in Moscow, and two major urban parks currently under development in Madrid and Milan. Following the success of DS+R’s first museum, the ICA in Boston, and The Broad in Los Angeles, Diller led the conception and design of The Shed, an emerging multi-arts institution. She also led the renovation and expansion of MoMA in New York and the East Storehouse at the Victoria and Albert Museum, which is currently under construction in London. Diller has also created academic spaces for prestigious educational institutions, including Stanford University, The Juilliard School, Columbia University, and MIT, where DS+R’s design for the School of Architecture is under construction. More recently, she completed Al-Mujadilah in Doha, the first mosque for women in the Islamic world.

In addition to her architectural projects, Diller continues to develop independent works for the stage, curatorial and installation projects for museums and public spaces, as well as works for print and alternative media. She created, produced, and directed *The Mile-Long Opera*, a choral performance with 1,000 singers distributed along the High Line. She also recently completed *Architecture, Not Architecture*, a two-volume monograph on the studio’s interdisciplinary work, which will be published by Phaidon Press in 2025. Her latest exhibition design will open at MAXXI in Rome on October 25. Diller is a Professor of Architecture at Princeton University and a member of the UN Urban Initiatives Council.
