The conversation follows a major honor: in 2025, DS+R received the Golden Lion for Best Participation at the Venice Biennale of Architecture for Canal Café.&nbsp;Tickets:&nbsp;<a href="https://theglasshouse.org/whats-on/an-evening-with-liz-diller/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">https://theglasshouse.org/whats-on/an-evening-with-liz-diller/</a>
