Tributes to Vincent Scully: Friends Remember the Late Historian
We mourn the death of Vincent Scully, the eminent historian who brought a vital, empathetic, and inventive socio-cultural approach to the writing about and teaching of architecture and art. In honor of Scully, who died November 30 at age 97, we asked architects, historians, and former students who knew him from Yale University, and later from the University of Miami, to discuss Scully’s influence on their thinking and appreciation of architecture.
We conclude with a reminiscence of his later years from his wife, architecture and design historian Catherine (Tappy) Lynn. We shall continue to add new tributes over the next several days. For more details, see Paul Goldberger’s reflections on Scully’s legacy. Also, view a trailer below of the documentary about Scully’s life by Checkerboard Films.
