About
A well-traveled and passionate architect, Scott is motivated by an abiding drive to leave places better than when he found them. This commitment has brought him to places as far flung as the ever-expanding mega-cites of China, to cities in recovery like Post-Soviet St. Petersburg, Post-Katrina New Orleans, and Philadelphia.
Ultimately though, all roads lead back to the fundamentals that good design outlasts hardships and nature outlasts us all.
