Career and recognition
In 1993, Joy established Rick Joy Architects in Tucson, Arizona. The firm, owned and operated by Joy, had a staff of twelve as of 2013. offers high-concept contemporary design combined with full traditional architectural and master planning services. From the beginning, each of the firm's works has been exhibited and published extensively and has won numerous awards. Joy received the 2002 American Academy of Arts and Letters Award in Architecture and in 2004 won the prestigious National Design Award from the Smithsonian Institution/Cooper-Hewitt Museum. The firm has gained substantial international recognition, has participated in multiple exhibitions, and has been featured in over 150 publications worldwide. Joy has lectured extensively throughout the United States and around the globe and is considered an important contributor on the ongoing global discourse on modern architecture. He periodically serves as a visiting professor of architecture at the Harvard Graduate School of Design, Rice University, University of Arizona, and M.I.T. In 2002, Joy's first monograph was published under the title Desert Works, as the first in the Princeton Architectural Press/Graham Foundation invited New Voices in Architecture series.
The firm's extensive experience with lifestyle based projects encompasses a wide range of project types and locations. Early residential projects in the desert southwest frequently employed rammed earth, steel and concrete in the design. Expanding into different climates and cultural places has led to new formal responses and a diverse, locally grounded material palette. The firm has realized architectural residences in regions such as mountains in Idaho, forests in Vermont, and an urban loft in the heart of Manhattan. Current project sites include the islands of Turks and Caicos and Key Biscayne, and on the Princeton University Campus.
In recent years, Rick Joy Architects has received several commissions at much larger scales, including a luxury resort for Aman Resorts in southern Utah with I-10 Studio, the St. Edward's University Campus Chapel and Holy Cross Institute Complex, the 9 story housing block for the 2011 Pan American Games in Guadalajara, Mexico, the master planning of new towns in Mexico and Utah, new master planning in York, Maine and Le Massif, Canada, a 1.3 million square foot mixed-use development in Tucson, Arizona, and most recently, the Princeton University Station, Store, Restaurant and Cafe Projects, which are slated to begin construction in the fall of 2013.
