___

Scott Erdy’s award winning projects celebrate place, program and cultural relevancy while exploiting the conceptual potential of practicality and constructability. The strength of Scott’s work is its ability to translate normative programs into architecture of poetic beauty and cultural significance.

Scott’s work pursues a methodology where form embodies purpose, and sense of place is revealed through the careful intersection of programmatic relationships and cultural significance. Since establishing Erdy McHenry Architecture with David McHenry, Scott’s design work has received many accolades from the local and national press as well as his peers and has received more than 30 state, local and national awards. Beginning with the September 2001 cover story of Architecture Magazine featuring Southern Poverty Law Center in Montgomery, Alabama and most recently the 2013 July Cover of Architectural Record highlighting the Cornell Teaching Dairy Barn, Ithaca New York, Scott’s work has been recognized for the embodiment of both its cultural significance and utilitarian beauty.
