Do Architects Reuse Their Own Designs? DS+R: Cartier Miami vs. The Shed NYC

Описание: Do Architects Reuse Their Own Designs?

We exmain if Diller Scofidio + Renfro’s new Cartier flagship in Miami reworks DS+R's previous projects into it.

In this video, we break down how the Cartier flagship uses the same architectural DNA found in DS+R’s work at Hudson Yards in New York City — especially the tower crown next to The Shed.

We compare how ideas, forms, and geometries migrate across projects, and how architects often remix their own design language across scales.

From a massive NYC tower to a small luxury retail space in Miami, DS+R transforms the same architectural idea into something totally new.

We discuss:

Why Cartier Miami looks familiar to architects

The shared fluting + sculptural language with DS+R’s Hudson Yards tower

How architects recycle, evolve, and scale their own design ideas

Why media coverage focuses on branding instead of architectural lineage

How DS+R’s design approach shifts across context, scale, and program

This is a clip from our longer conversation on MXD Signal — edited for a quick, visual, design-focused deep dive.

If you’re an architecture student, designer, or just curious about how high-profile buildings are made, this one’s for you.
