Script Architecture PLLC is an award winning research and design firm for architecture, urbanism and community. Our projects range from developing methods for participatory design to realizing buildings. Our design process focuses on the stories of people and places to create situation specific design projects. These stories are often composed of complex data that we organize through generative code and computational design techniques. We are continually researching the intersection of computational design and community engagement - digital placemaking.
In addition to creating unique designs through research for each project, we are client oriented. We work with each client to develop a work plan that meets their needs and allows us to deliver excellent services. We collaborate with artists, community members, planners, and developers to imagine projects for any situation.
