Studio Joy Works (Rick Joy's New Book) - My Review

[@30by40]

Happy New Year all...! Link to the book here: thirtybyforty.com/rick-joy-studio-works

[@mohamedshaban2214]

happy new year for you and i hope this year you reach your goals

[@DinoEvolutions]

30X40 Design Workshop do you know what type of architect designs the floor plans and or that’s what all architects do?

[@cwilkinson99]

Nice review, Rick is an inspiration to me as well for his clarity of forms, plan and materials. I went to school with Rick Joy at the University of Arizona, but didn't know him. But I recall one or two of his presentations and he always had beautiful drawings. He's a super talent now and then, and was recognized at the time as being very good. He's an important part of the architectural community at the U. of A., Tucson and Arizona. One of the professors at the time while we were both there was Judith Chaffee. She's been an inspiration for many of us, including Rick Joy as I understand. Her work is well worth reviewing carefully for her modernist application of form in a regional setting in Arizona.

I'm 12 and i believe of being an architect This is my DREAM.

[@pravious]

Don't stop chasing that dream, kid. Architecture is one of the very few good things that we have left. When it's done right, people's lives are made better.

[@neerithedragon298]

Awesome, man! I'm 24, did the maritime academy for 5 years, and discovered this channel in the process. I am absolutely captured by the idea of architecture. Dont fall in the trap that who you are is defined in one line. Im thinking about starting an architecture side project for myself, eventhough I studied something completely different. Do what captivates and motivates you! Good luck with following your dream!

[@PeteCollingsArchitect]

I'm a proud book sniffer, too. :)

[@Oldhogleg]

Great, well executed architecture isn't a collage, a laundry list of architectural elements, but a design concept, theme, that's been explored for each individual project's function and location environment. Neither is good architecture an "ism" being played over and over like a broken record, but a never ending exploration into the imagination to create an experience; not just shelter. This is why the works of creative architects looks like poetry rather than a grab bag of elements removed from their original context. But I'd have to say the biggest difference between a "functional" architect and a "poetic" architect is whether the design is "alive", or "dead"; that is whether it has a sence of movement, a sence of being on the verge of completion, as expressed in the phylosiphy of Tao. So it's nice to see such things as in the book you shared because in the real world those qualities are quite rare. Thanks.

[@30by40]

well said...thanks for adding such a thoughtful dialogue to the discussion...(that's rare these days too, esp. on YT)

[@roberttaylor9259]

I had the great fortune of seeing Rick Joy speak at my university in 2013. I actually ran sound and set the event up for him. I was unable to go to diner with him afterward, students were encouraged to go, but he was a really interesting guy. He spoke a lot about Amangiri and Kanye West. He talked about the more human side of architecture and how light and fire can inspire. I wish I hadn't been working the event because I wasn't able to take it in as much as if I were just a student.

[@SeanTobinArchitect]

HA, Eric. I think the first thing I do after admiring the cover of a new book is smell it! I know when it has been used enough when the smell goes away. This is a great book, love your reviews. Cannot wait to see what else you might have acquired.

[@dawn6484]

I am a high school student studying architecture. It's hard but I'm getting a lot of courage watching this channel!! Thank U!

[@30by40]

glad to help! enjoy your studies...

[@manuelmota1318]

Rick joy os amazing! Had a chance to meet him during a workshop in San Diego while attending Architecture school, so cool!

[@Bocephus79]

I love these videos when you share your library. I am slowly building my own library and have taken a few of your titles and added them. McKay-Lyons should be on my doorstep in a few days. Thanks Eric and Happy New Year.

[@30by40]

Nice...love the BMcKL book too...happy new year!

[@Jsallette99]

Great Video.. Love the book review and the book too...definitely something that I want to read....Thanks for sharing and highlighting this book on your youtube channel.

[@takchengsze4719]

I like rick joy. My favourite living architects are peter zumthor and alvaro siza. I used to be an architect but I lost my passion after I worked in a firm designing shopping mall. It is a deep subject matter.

[@mtnmanc3]

Eric! You have my favorite professor's book, 'How Much house?' Have a great new year! Thank you for everything you are doing for the profession.

[@30by40]

a fantastic little book...! happy new year...(+ thanks for watching)

[@wayneparker1235]

Your library is almost an exact copy of mine....or the other way around! Thanks for sharing your insights. I agree with you...would have loved to have experienced some of the journey of how you got to what he ended up with. I also recently devoured BIG,s new book, HOT and COLD where the process is so well documented which adds an entirely different dimension to the work. Happy new Eric!

[@luckygirl6150]

I won Rick Joy prize for my final diploma project ☺️ proud

[@jampheldhondup3174]

Saltanat Zhumagulova can I see the project ?

[@jamesjohnston6765]

I also stuff my face in the pages of new books, paper and ink smells are wonderful when fresh. Great video and a book that I will track down. Thanks for the suggestion. Happy New Year, I hope Maine is treating you well.

[@RainMaker0602]

I kind of always do that with all the books I buy. The new book smell actually makes the book more conducive for reading and oddly adds to the experience. Anyway, Happy New Year, Eric! Cheers and all the best!

[@fanah.m]

Hi Eric, great review thanks. Great follower of your work and world of architectural adventure. Looking forward to your content for 2019.

[@30by40]

thank you my friend...keep making things out there...

[@andrewkd79]

Great video.. Reminds me that I need to get some more books... Need to visit the US and go on a photographic hunt of architecture..

[@imadasmone8915]

Happy new year Erik... Looking forward to more n more inspirations.. Yah, smell of the books.. refreshing...

[@30by40]

happy new year my friend...thanks for checking in...!

[@mckadent9370]

Rick Joy came and lectured at my university 2 weeks ago, pretty awesome guy and a great architect

[@ashelyanderson2370]

Rick Joy is one of my favorite. Did not know he was a New Englander.

[@shihhanchen4738]

I love the way new books smell, too~

[@cseon1850]

I like the smell as well. I think many do! Looking forward to watching your upcoming videos. Thanks for sharing your passion.

[@30by40]

reassuring... thanks for watching...!

[@peterkoval]

You mentioned you use Autocad LT for your layouts, and I was just curious why you used that instead of Revit LT?

[@brindavanbharali2629]

Looks like you are up for real good contents in 2019, love the vibe. More energy to you from a fellow Architect. Happy New Year .

[@casongalloway4251]

Any advice for getting into a school to study architecture and getting through the classes?

[@lusayomwalilino5895]

Hi Eric, I'm learning so much from your videos. Very grateful! Could you please do one on clerestory windows. Cheers!

[@raydejesus6230]

As always, thanks for sharing your thoughts and insights. Blessings

[@nancypattonwilson1409]

I’m not an architect, but I love your videos for their beauty and design ideas. Can I ask you a basic question? What is the white pen you use in this one to draw the floor plan? It’s so hard to find white pens that actually work.

[@30by40]

Thanks Nancy! This is the one I'm using in the video: thirtybyforty.com/gelly-roll

[@brandanscheller]

Fantastic video! Wonderful commentary and filled with inspiration

[@30by40]

Books smells so gooooooood. Happy New year

[@RealSameerRaza]

Im a 3rd year Architecture student got 2 more years left, i have a problem that i face as an Architect student, i can design the building but i struggle to understand the engineer structure drawing plans. What should i do ? instead of Maths i took Arts, English Literature and Urdu as my majors in my Highschool before going to university to study Architecture. What do i do to learn to understand structural drawing plans easily ?

[@wc78229]

Can you recommend a check list for some one who is looking to buy land and build on it? We (wife and I) are looking to do that, but we have no knowledge about this at all.

[@naghmehkhannezhad4915]

I love new book’s smell too😁

[@bojidarkamenski3432]

Hey architects, I have a question! So if I have a project how to contact someone who can sponsor it and build it?

[@larynOneka8080]

I love Rick Joy homes.

[@DrAdnan]

The book is so aesthetic!

[@srivasthav7753]

I love to smell new books

[@ronreed748]

Any favorite book(s) that do illustrate process?

[@ArchieDeZ]

Happy new Year! and YES, I'm always do that.

[@30by40]

is it the ink? or the paper? i always wonder...

[@ArchieDeZ]

@@30by40 I think it's the paper,, similar like new paper money from the bank or like paper that comes out from copier machine 🤔

[@lukeedgewater1569]

Hi im a high school student that wants to be an architecture. I have a question about how i should approach what i want to do, because i am currently determining what school to go to for an undergrad but one is architectural studies and the other is architecture.

[@30by40]

depends on the end goal...if it's to be an architect, you want 'architecture'...that's a professional program + degree and you'll need a degree from an accredited university to ultimately become professionally licensed. architectural studies sounds to me like an unaccredited program and - at least from where I sit - would seem to be of questionable value. there are many paths to get where you want to go, but start with a basic understanding of what you're striving for... hope that helps...

[@lukeedgewater1569]

Yes it does thanks for the help I really appreciate it

[@KPplumbing]

Love your videos!

[@30by40]

appreciate that...thanks for watching!

[@erikrodriguez3101]

I really enjoy your videos. I for one could really benefit from residential landscape related videos. Just a request, thank you!

[@romaissamedjber672]

It's a very interesting recommendation for amators students and even professional architects thank u so much, otherwise i'd like to ask you if you ever had a goal or an interest to be an international architect and be able to build and create architecture around the world wide countries if so how did you or you're willing to proceed?

[@30by40]

I'm working on two international projects currently...it's a different experience...

[@jakeriddle21400]

Michael Crosbie who writes that essay is a professor at the university of Hartford’s architecture program where I study architecture! Rick Joy came as a lecturer for a lecture series! I suggest contacting Prof. Crosbie! You would be a great addition to our lecture series!

[@30by40]

I was a student of Michael's too back in my archi-school days...I took his Writing about Architecture class at Roger Williams University...

[@kactye]

Amazing

[@30by40]

agree 100%...I love Rick's work...

[@faustobyfausto]

thanks man 🖖🏾

Hello sir, I am a student in the second year of Architecture, I entered it beacuse of my desire and love but I lost it recently , I lost my passion, I do not have the desire to study its theoretical or even thinking about projects, can you help me with a tip ? I appreciate it. thank you very much for the wonderful videos that you make and your effort And your time, and sorry for my English, have a nice day

[@tomaspavelka4623]

I do that with every single book, the smell is always very good. But it wasn’t always so! I remember books smelling bad. 30 years ago... 😂

[@30by40]

phew...glad I'm not alone...the smell of knowledge...can be good...can be bad I suppose!

[@jamesstorm1]

Nice

[@nasib7131]

Random question, is an architect like you able to buy a Range Rover?

[@kedarkalambe8768]

Isn't conveying an architect's design process difficult in a book format? It seems only visual medium can do justice for eg, the glimpses of Frank Gehry's design process we got from the documentary 'sketches of frank Gehry'. This is why i love your channel, you share your ideas, thoughts, design process which a book could never replicate. :) Cheers my friend, happy new year!

[@30by40]

appreciate you noticing and your thoughtful comment...100% agree...the Interludes series has some great stuff on Rick's work including him walking through some of his projects...would love to experience his work...

[@kedarkalambe8768]

True, nothing like experiencing a building first hand. Maybe this is the greatest gift i received from architecture education of learning how to experience a building with all senses, the visual memory created by walking through a building, all this opens a different dimension in your mind than the usual chatterbox mode. :) Looking back, i feel the architecture education should start with teaching students how to really experience a building. Its odd we had to self learn this process. Greatly appreciate woody allen movies or inception for instilling this vision & of course zumthor works. If possible please make a video on this topic. Also thanks for sharing the interlude series, saw the trailer, looks really interesting.

[@eduardoadrian5994]

[@Mourinii]

I always ALWAYS smell new books or even old books from the library 😝

[@deezynar]

The Brady Bunch Movie made fun of Mr. Brady by showing designs of all sorts of buildings he did for different clients, in different places, and serving different purposes, but all of them were exact copies of the Brady house. A designer should be laughed at if he does the same thing for every project, because it is clearly inappropriate to use one pattern for projects that have vastly different uses, and are sited in vastly different environments. On the other hand, it is an egotistical pursuit to extravagantly spend the clients money on designs that are unnecessary attempts at reinventing the wheel. That is actually one reason I like your work, you are not afraid to use the ancient gable roof form in most of your designs. It is well suited for the climate that your buildings live in. Wright had his Usonian series, in which he reused the same details for most of them. He restricted his wild inventiveness to the unique decorative cut outs he created for each home. Architecture magazines today are filled with buildings that I don't like because they are barely recognizable as buildings. The designers are dead set on making a name for themselves and somehow find clients with budgets large enough to let them go crazy. A financial collapse will be required to bring architecture back to sanity.

[@jdfan9977]
