Editing Denise Scott Brown (section)

== Legacy ==

Recognition of Denise Scott Brown's significance has grown steadily, with awards, exhibitions, and scholarly attention documenting her contributions. The Architecture League of New York, the Royal Institute of British Architects, and other organizations have honored her work. Exhibitions at major museums have examined the firm's projects with attention to her role. Young architects, particularly women, cite her as inspiration and model for combining theory, practice, and advocacy.<ref name="brownlee"/>

Scott Brown continues working and speaking, her perspectives remaining relevant as architecture addresses questions of context, community, and meaning that she helped define. Philadelphia claims her as one of its most important architects and thinkers, her work demonstrating that architecture encompasses far more than the design of individual buildings. The questions she raised about how we understand cities, who receives credit for collaborative work, and what architecture should attend to continue generating productive debate.<ref name="stierli"/>
