Celebrated New York architecture duo Elizabeth Diller and Ricardo Scofidio of Diller Scofidio   Renfro have just been revealed as the 2019 Royal Academy Architecture Prize winners. The annual gong, which is given out to architects for their ‘inspiring and enduring contribution to the culture of architecture’, is now on its second year, following last year’s honouring of Japanese architect Itsuko Hasegawa.

著名的纽约建筑二重奏伊丽莎白迪勒和里卡多斯科菲迪奥的迪勒斯科菲迪奥伦佛罗刚刚公布作为2019年皇家学院建筑奖得主。一年一度的锣因其“对建筑文化的激励和持久的贡献”而被颁发给建筑师。继去年日本建筑师长谷川介子被授予荣誉之后，这已经是第二年了。

Scofidio and Diller’s work, in many ways, captures the architectural zeitgeist. It can be iconic and eye-catching, featuring dramatic forms and material experimentation. But it can also be subtle, with a soft dynamism, ever-changing and reaching out to connect with different types of practices, disciplines and strands of local and global culture.

斯科菲迪奥和迪勒的作品，在许多方面，抓住了建筑时代。它可以是标志性的和引人注目的，具有戏剧性的形式和物质实验。但它也可以是微妙的，具有柔和的活力，不断变化，并与不同类型的实践、学科和地方及全球文化联系起来。

The pair has worked as a team since the 1980s and has built an internationally acclaimed firm that operates with a strong presence in the cultural realm, in the arts – visual and performance – in a way that few architecture practices do. DS R’s built works include the Blur Building, a temporary structure in Switzerland for the 2002 Expo and the Broad museum in Los Angeles (2015). Above all they champion interdisciplinarity and bridge building, design and urban culture, all key discussion points in the contemporary architecture field.

两人自上世纪80年代以来一直是一个团队，并建立了一家享誉国际的公司，该公司在文化领域、艺术领域-视觉和表演-都拥有强大的影响力，这是很少有建筑实践所能做到的。DS R的建筑工程包括布鲁大厦，这是2002年世博会在瑞士的临时建筑，以及洛杉矶的博德博物馆(2015)。最重要的是，他们倡导跨学科性、桥梁建设、设计和城市文化，这些都是当代建筑领域的关键讨论点。

‘At the Royal Academy we view architecture as a social art form, that is integral to our lives and ever present’, says Kate Goodwin, head of architecture and Heinz curator at the Royal Academy of Arts. ‘We therefore think about architecture broadly and aim to contextualise its relevance within society and culture, often acting as translators between the profession and the public. I believe in expanding the spatial literacy of us all so we can understand the world we inhabit and work towards shaping a better one.’

皇家艺术学院建筑学负责人、亨氏艺术学院馆长凯特·古德温(Kate Goodwin)说，在皇家艺术学院，我们把建筑视为一种社会艺术形式，这是我们生活中不可或缺的。因此，我们对建筑进行了广泛的思考，目的是将建筑在社会和文化中的相关性结合起来，经常充当专业和公众之间的翻译家。我相信，应该扩大我们所有人的空间素养，以便我们能够了解我们所居住的世界，并为塑造一个更好的世界而努力。

The winners were selected by a jury of experts including director of LSE cities Ricky Burdett, Louisa Hutton RA co-founder of Sauerbruch Hutton, Lesley Lokko head of the graduate school of architecture at the University of Johannesburg and broadcaster Kirsty Wark; and chaired by Royal Academician and co-founder of Stanton Williams Alan Stanton.
