Dr. Scully died Nov. 30 at his home in Lynchburg, Va. The lights were lowered in the hall at 11:30 a.m., when Dr. Scully began his lecture, accompanied by photographic slides. Early in his career, Dr. Scully shared the conventional view that architects were heroic artists of material and space, imposing an almost godlike vision on the world. Practically alone among architectural scholars of the time, Dr. Scully began to emphasize the importance of the past. After his formal retirement from Yale, Dr. Scully taught at the University of Miami, where his former students Duany and Plater-Zyberk led the architecture school.
