Ben Barsotti Scott, PLA

I’m a landscape architect licensed in the state of New York. I also curate exhibitions, primarily through a collaborative project called Bad Little Brother. And I’m a student of historical geography, currently researching a series of civilian-led blockades of US Navy terminals in the final years of the Vietnam War.

Occasionally, I’m  also a teacher and critic at schools of art and architecture: see the syllabus for my 2022 undergraduate course on contemporary architectural theory here. Even more occasionally, I write for architecture and urban geography titles like the the New York Review of Architecture, Critical Planning Journal, and the Journal of Landscape Architecture. You can see my full CV here.


I live and work in New York City and commute every once in a while to New Jersey. I post some of my recent and ongoing work on this site. If you’re interested in working together, you can contact me here.

EXHIBITION
Open Center
 2018

In conjunction with Unrestrooms, an unfinished survey of gender and public space, Bad Little Brother interviewed Jordan Martins, executive director of Comfort Station Logan Square. Comfort Station is a multidisciplinary arts space on Chicago’s northwest side, housed in a twentieth-century public “comfort” facility. Originally one of nine facilities across Chicago’s Boulevard system, this comfort station acted as both a public restroom and a warming and cooling facility, a public space for a city with extreme winters and summers. The conversation addresses Comfort Station’s internal structure as a socially-engaged arts non-profit, as well as its position in the Logan Square community and the broader urban and regional arts context.
