作為一名學者，他最初以《木瓦風格：從理查森到賴特的起源的建築理論與設計》一書嶄露頭角。該書（以另一個標題）於 1949 年作為他的博士論文提交，並於 1955 年出版成書。他的分析發現，麥金、米德和懷特等人在 19 世紀 70 年代和 80 年代為上層階級客戶建造的巨大「別墅enormous “cottages” 」（這些別墅造型強勁有力，體量龐大，外覆雪松木瓦）與弗蘭克·勞埃德·賴特在中西部早期的民居建築之間存在著連續性。

Richard B. Woodward, "Vincent Scully, 97, Influential Architecture Historian", The New York Times, December 1, 2017.
“He showed us that architecture is not just forms in a vacuum. It’s about what kind of society you want to build.”
“他向我們展示了建築不僅僅是孤立存在的形式，它關乎你想建立怎樣的社會。”
His 1969 book, “American Architecture and Urbanism,” tried to make amends. He spoke out against displacement of the poor to make room for wider highways, and he became an active critic of redevelopment in New Haven. His “Architecture: The Natural and the Manmade,” published in 1991, further chastised modernists for failing to respect the surrounding city and neighborhood — the context — in which a modernist structure might be built.
他1969年出版的《美國建築與都市主義》一書試圖彌補過失。他公開反對為了建造更寬的高速公路而驅逐窮人，並積極批評紐黑文的重建計畫。 1991年出版的《建築：自然與人造》一書進一步譴責現代主義者未能尊重周圍的城市和社區——即現代主義建築所處的脈絡。
His flair for the dramatic was aided by a gift for the sonorous phrase — of Mies van der Rohe, he wrote, “His architecture cried on nobody’s lapel; it made perfect, technologically appropriate cages, and limpid volumes of air, and that was all” — or the biting put-down: He once dismissed the buildings of Kevin Roche as “paramilitary dandyism.”
他擅長戲劇化的表達，這得益於他能言善辯——他曾這樣評價密斯·凡·德·羅：「他的建築不會讓人感到憤慨；它創造了完美的、技術上合適的牢籠，以及清澈的空氣空間，僅此而已”——或者尖刻的貶損：他曾形容凱文·羅奇的建築如同「準軍事化的紈綺子弟風」。”
Professor Scully’s support for the underappreciated Louis Kahn in the early 1960s helped elevate his stature and acquire commissions for him to build two of his masterworks at Yale, the Yale Art Gallery and the Yale Center for British Art.
Writing the introduction to Robert Venturi’s incendiary 1966 book, “Complexity and Contradiction in Architecture,” Professor Scully endorsed it as “probably the most important writing on the making of architecture” since Le Corbusier’s “Towards a New Architecture.”
斯卡利教授為羅伯特·文丘里1966年出版的極具爭議的著作《建築的複雜性與矛盾性》撰寫了序言，並稱讚該書可能是“自勒·柯布西耶的《走向新建築》以來，關於建築創作的最重要的著作”。
“He showed us that architecture is not just forms in a vacuum. It’s about what kind of society you want to build.”
His architecture cried on nobody’s lapel
The phrase is a literary device used to describe architecture that is unsentimental, stark, and purely functional. It suggests that the buildings did not seek emotional sympathy or tell a narrative of human suffering; they simply existed as efficient, "technologically appropriate cages".
