Scott Marble
Scott Marble is a founding partner of Marble Fairbanks and a faculty member at the Columbia University Graduate School of Architecture, Planning, and Preservation (GSAPP). His early engagement with digital technologies at Columbia University, teaching one of the first “paperless” design studios, has allowed Marble Fairbanks to pioneer innovative uses of digital fabrication and unique assemblies in their built work. Scott is a frequent lecturer in the areas of digital technologies and building information modeling (BIM). As a faculty member at the GSAPP, Scott advances the development of new digital design and fabrication techniques through independent projects and architectural design studios. He is the Director of the Columbia Building Intelligence Project (C-BIP), experimenting with a new model of integrated design studios partnering with industry to develop collective intelligence in the design process. He is also the Director of the Avery Digital Fabrication Lab, a research laboratory within the GSAPP. He has taught design studios at Syracuse University, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, University of Michigan, and University of Houston and frequently lectures on the work of Marble Fairbanks around the country. Scott received his Master of Architecture degree from Columbia University where he received the AIA Award and a William Kinne Traveling Fellowship and his Bachelor of Environmental Design degree from Texas A&M University. Scott currently serves as a peer reviewer for the General Services Administration of the NEA. He is also the editor of Abstract, the catalog of the GSAPP, and is co-editor of the book Architecture and Body, a collection of essays published in 1988 by Rizzoli International Publications.
