Vegas could use a little “Joy”…

Rick Joy’s architecture feels pure and simple, which makes it powerful.  The raw quality of materials gives character to the structures and gives them a sense of timelessness and belonging to the landscape and region.  The essence of his work reminds me of a small Las Vegas firm named assemblageSTUDIO.  (http://www.assemblagestudio.com/) One of the partners, Drew Gregory, was my second-year studio instructor who incouraged us to work with the regional palette of materials and develop an appreciation for the beauty of the dessert, but these principles can be applied to other regions as well.  

Here is the project we worked on in the studio.  It’s an experiential visitor center for the senses at Red Rock Canyon.  If you are ever in Southern Nevada be sure to check out the raw natural beauty of this National Park.
