Architecture, 1985-1990, Cum Laude. For 21 years, Mr. Joy as enjoyed a

"As a contemporary modernist, he expresses the nature of materials, but
he also puts the mass back into the volumes that the original Modernist
had removed some eight decades before. The architect is a pragmatist
and not a theorist or rather; he bases his theory on pragmatics,
developing his aesthetics and approach to construction through a
sensitive use of materials."

200; lecture, Harvard University Graduate School of Design, 2000; The
Home and Garden Channel, 2000; lecture, University of Virginia, 2000;
