Scully, Vincent, Jr., 1920-

Vincent Joseph Scully was born in 1920 in New Haven, Connecticut. He attended Yale University, where he earned a B.A. (1940), an M.A. (1947), and Ph.D. (1949) in art history. He has been a member of the Yale faculty since 1947, where he is a Sterling Professor Emeritus of the History of Art. He also teaches classes at the University of Miami. Scully was influenced by French-school art historians during his studies at Yale and developed an appreciation of contemporary architects Louis Kahn and Frank Lloyd Wright. He has encouraged "other modernism," promoting the opening of architectural theory to psychological and archetypal analysis. Among his students were the founders of the New Urbanism, which promotes planned growth in cities and towns.
