Prior to founding Bent Architecture Partnership, Mr. Scovel gained private residential experience working on numerous independent projects. He also developed institutional architectural expertise working with clients such as Harvard University, the State of Massachusetts, the DeCordova Museum, the Discovery Museum in Bridgeport Connecticut, the Milton Hershey School in Pennsylvania, the National Institute for Education in Singapore, and the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center.

He has thirteen years of experience as a project manager and designer with some of Boston’s most respected firms – Perry Dean Rogers and Partners; Kyu Sung Woo Architects; Kallmann, McKinnell and Wood; Chan Krieger and Associates; William Rawn Associates, and Shepley Bullfinch Richardson and Abbott. He has worked as well with architects in Pennsylvania, California, Oregon, and London, England.

Chris holds a Masters of Architecture from Harvard University's Graduate School of Design - completing his graduate thesis in 1992 - and a Bachelor of Arts in Art History from Reed College in Portland, Oregon. As an undergraduate he studied at the Institute for Architecture and Urban Studies in New York City with Mario Gondelsonas and Tony Vidler, among others.

He has assisted in the teaching of design studios at Harvard and has independently taught studios in its summer program. He has served on numerous architectural juries in the Boston area.

Chris first learned project management as an Appalachian Mountain Club hutmaster. He’s traveled widely, but if he’s not in the office he may very well be back in the White Mountains, paddling in the Northwest Territories, or on his teli skis in the Selkirks.
