A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
Arizona‐based architect Rick Joy is renowned for creating beautiful modern houses that are responsive to the natural landscape. Here he describes how experience and identity in a completed work are grounded in a mutual relationship between inhabitant and habitat: spaces condition behaviours as much as they are then, in turn, conditioned by their inhabitants. Accommodating these qualities in a design is wholly reliant on the architects' ability to be perceptive – to observe habits, nuances, atmosphere and a sense of place.
