Hilary Sample is currently completing her book Sick City: A Global Investigation into Urbanism, Infrastructure, and Disease. She is a principal of the interdisciplinary architecture and design practice MOS, which has grown greatly since its founding in 2003 but continues to operate, she says, around one large table. The firm's approach involves playful experimentation, serious research, and old-fashioned problem-solving. "We engage architecture as an open system of interrelated issues, ranging from architectural typology to digital methodologies, building performance, sustainability, structure, fabrication, materiality, tactility, and use as well as larger social, cultural, and environmental networks."
Sample is on the architecture faculty of Yale University and taught previously at the University of Toronto, Northeastern University, and SUNY Buffalo. Projects designed in her office have been showcased in numerous publications, including Architectural Record, Architect, A+U, Wallpaper, Surface, Space Korea, Mark, AV Proyectos, and the New York Times, and have been exhibited at the Venice Biennale, the Museum of Modern Art in New York, and the Art Institute of Chicago. The firm's current work includes a villa in Ordos, Inner Mongolia, and the public art installation Afterparty at MoMA PS1 in Long Island City, New York.
Cosponsored by the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.

Stan Allen is an architect, theorist, and dean of the School of Architecture at Princeton University. His firm is based in Brooklyn. Responding to the complexity of the modern city, he has developed an extensive catalog of urbanistic strategies, in particular looking at field theory, landscape architecture, and ecology as models to revitalize the practices of urban design. In addition to numerous design awards and competition prizes, Allen has been awarded grants and fellowships from the New York Foundation for the Arts, the New York State Council on the Arts, the National Endowment for the Arts, and the Graham Foundation.

Francois Roche is a cofounder of R&Sie(n), an architectural practice based in Paris. The firm’s work is simultaneously organic, biological, and critical, seeking to articulate real and fictional geographic situations as well as narrative structures that can transform them. R&Sie(n) unfolds its protocols through the restaging of different kinds of contemporary relationships: aesthetic, mechanical, computational, and even artificial. It employs speculations and fictions as strategies to un-alienate operative modes and infiltrate media culture in order to subvert its conventions.
The group uses contemporary technology in experiments that alchemically mix Eros and Thanatos to develop deliberately ambiguous scenarios fusing realities that seem immiscible. Using synthetic devices, they work out possibilities somewhere between attractions and aversions, combining obstacles and potential, waste material and efflorescence, threats and protections, mechanical powers and natural forces.
In addition to its architectural practice, R&Sie(n) works through New-Territories.com, a website and research organization dedicated to "research as speculation, fiction as practice, and practice as lifespan."

Elizabeth Diller is a professor of architecture at Princeton University and founding principal of Diller Scofidio + Renfro, a 50-person interdisciplinary design studio that integrates architecture, the visual arts, and the performing arts. In 1999, the MacArthur Foundation presented Elizabeth Diller and Ricardo Scofidio with the “genius” award (the first ever given in the field of architecture) for their commitment to integrating architecture with issues of contemporary culture. They were recently made fellows of the Royal Institute of British Architects and were inducted into the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 2008. They were named among Time magazine’s 100 most influential people of 2009.
Among the firm’s projects: Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts in New York; the High Line, an urban park situated on an obsolete elevated railway in New York City; the expansion of the School of American Ballet; the Institute of Contemporary Art on Boston’s waterfront; and the Blur building on Lake Neuchâtel, built for the 2002 Swiss Expo. Currently in design: the Museum of Image and Sound on Copacabana Beach in Rio de Janeiro; the master plan for Governors Island in New York City; Media Zone in Abu Dhabi; and the Hirshhorn Museum “Bubble” on the National Mall in Washington DC.
Cosponsored by the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.

Ogrydziak/Prillinger Architects is a San Francisco-based studio that specializes in the inclusion of new media and digital technologies in architecture. Established in 2000, OPA is globally recognized for projects that reflect a dense layering of architectural, cultural, and technological issues. In the interest of broadening the range of spatial organization strategies, the office also sustains a commitment to research work that explores the formal consequences of various structuring field conditions. Projects range in scale from institutions to private homes as well as interior and object design.
The firm's work is distinctive for its conceptual clarity and strong visual presence. Each project is of course a response to specific requirements of site, program, and client, but it also involves an exploration of its own internal formal possibilities rather than reflecting a predetermined architectural style. Both partners attended Princeton University and are currently Friedman assistant professors at UC Berkeley.
