Listen " Studio Rick Joy: Fireside Chat (w/ Rick Joy, Taylor Dickson)"
Episode Synopsis
An architect’s role by definition revolves around the planning, designing, and construction of buildings. But Rick Joy, principal at Studio Rick Joy, doesn’t see it that way. He believes his role is to create a lifestyle, not a building. It’s taking the setting and landscape into account and bringing the best experience to life with what you design. It’s letting nature and light in and pushing inconveniences and burdens out. It’s talking a client out of building a house on a hilltop and instead down by the pond so they can easily watch their kids swim. In this Best Practice webinar, Rick and his Director of Communications, Taylor Garcia Dickson, discuss how that philosophy shapes their brand and is brought to life through their practice.Interview TakeawaysConnect to the world around youHold live-in workshopsBring diverse perspectives into your officeTune into each otherBe in sync with natureTreat nature as a luxuryCreate a lifestyle, not a buildingEnhance the experience of the projectBring customers around to your timelineStick to the work that makes your firm happyStay in the present of your practiceShow LinksConnect with Rick Joy on LinkedIn Connect with Taylor Garcia Dickson on LinkedInCheck out Studio Rick JoyConnect with George Valdes on LinkedIn or TwitterConnect with Chris Morgan on LinkedIn Check out MonographFollow Monograph on LinkedIn or InstagramListen and about Monograph
