BRT Transit Station Architect | PIVOT | Eugene, OR

Scott Clarke, AIA, is an architect at PIVOT Architecture in Eugene, Oregon. For more than 25 years, he has designed bus rapid transit (BRT) stations, transit facilities, and public spaces that give communities equitable access to jobs, services, and each other.

Scott values the ability of transit systems to strengthen communities' identities and reinforce the sense of place in each location they serve. He has Bachelor of Arts from the University of Nevada and a Master of Architecture from the University of Oregon. He is a licensed architect in Oregon

Bus Rapid Transit Design Across the West

Scott is able to integrate BRT stations into the urban fabric at both macro and micro scales. By gaining a strong understanding of areas' climates, landscapes, and communities, Scott integrates stations into their surroundings. He does so by minimizing impacts to adjacent surroundings, avoided a major sub-grade utility lines, and blending existing pavement with the new platform patterns and grading.

Stations Designed as Complete Systems

Scott thinks about stations holistically. His experience gives him a working understanding of how architecture relates to structural, electrical, and civil engineering, which shape his architectural concepts from the start. He pursues solutions that are functional, beautiful, accessible, durable, safe, and constructable.

Analytical Thinking That Aligns Decision-Makers

Scott is analytical by nature. Clients rely on him to evaluate, extrapolate, and get to the root of what they want, then deliver a project that meets their needs and accommodates the future.

Urban Design, Civic Places

Scott is a passionate designer who considers history, context, and the people who use a space as equal parts of the creative process. On every project he explores issues from site plans to light fixtures. His interests include urban design, sustainability, functionality, and technical excellence.
