As principal architect, Scott leads projects at every level to produce master plans and architecture that celebrate culture and the beauty of place, people and planet. He brings over 20 years of professional experience and knowledge in effectively guiding client hopes and dreams to success in a thoughtful and in-depth manner. Whether through facilitation of community dialogue, design, project management, team coordination, grant writing, marketing, or construction administration, he has an expertise geared towards community programs and place-based projects. Scott seeks to combine technology, sustainable practice, service, learning, and social spaces in one coherent effort while also sparking innovation, generous sharing, and a little fun.
Scott brings attention to detail and ease of communication to bear and has managed various kinds of complex projects and balanced budgets in the practice of indigenous design and community building. In South Dakota, he served as the “bridge” between the Lakota non-profit Thunder Valley CDC on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation and the planning team from Kansas City on the regional sustainable communities project called Oyate Omniciye | Oglala Lakota Plan. As Project Coordinator living on the reservation, he led local data collection, helped move projects forward, and coordinated planning activity, while building local capacity for the local non-profit and cultural awareness for the non-Native planning team. Scott is leading the Keya Wakpala Waíçageyapi resilient community development project on the Rosebud Indian Reservation which recently won an international award for Social-Environmental-Economic Design with special jury commendation. The many projects Scott has contributed to over the years have solid emphasis on dialogue, respect and common sense. Throughout his journeys in life and architecture, Scott has immersed himself in diverse cultural landscapes which inform his keen ability to envision the most place-appropriate solutions. Scott is also a sundance ceremonial participant on Pine Ridge and proud father of a Lakota daughter.
