Sidy Inc. Victor Sidy Inc. is a design studio and research laboratory for specialized architectural projects. In the fall of 2000, Victor Sidy Inc. opened its doors in an updated 1880's crackerjack loft in historic McKinney, Texas. Since then it has become the nexus of designers, artists, and craftsmen from across the globe. At the core of their work, they celebrate the act of making (technae) as the departure point for design. Their work has appeared and been featured in the New York Times, Interiors Magazine, Blueprint Magazine, Better Homes and Gardens, CNN International, the Home and Garden Network, the Discovery Channel, and numerous other publications and broadcasts. Now based in New York City, Victor Sidy Inc. has developed methods to design and execute highly specialized projects, from furniture to bridges, disaster relief shelters to luxury retreats, nature study centers to the design of urban schools. VSI has piloted several case-study projects with community-based organizations. In collaboration with the North American Montessori Teachers' Association, VSI coordinated programs for adolescents in which the students design and build environmentally sensitive structures. VSI has also published key literature on the design for Montessori learning environments, and consults with schools across the country. VSI is actively involved with adaptive reuse of historic structures, notably in McKinney, Texas, the second largest historic district in Texas. VSI's prototype Human Habitat structure, an experimental ultra-low cost shelter for developing countries and disaster areas received patent status and is undergoing testing near Dallas, Texas. Victor Sidy, AIA is an architect, inventor, writer, and lecturer. He received his architectural training from the Frank Lloyd Wright School of Architecture after receiving the Flinn Foundation Scholarship and Robert C. Byrd Scholarship. He has worked with artists, architects, and planners in Russia, Germany, the Netherlands, and the United States and has taught students from elementary school to graduate school in a variety of architecture-related fields.
