, JoebMoore & Partners is an architecture and design firmknown for its intellect in design, craftsmanship, inventive formal and spatial systems, and details. We invited JoebMoore to tell us more about the firmand the projects it undertakes. NAE17014 N Best Architectural Practice - Connecticut Joeb Moore & Partners specializes in precise and creative buildings, landscapes, and furnishings that sensitively respond to their environment and ecologies of place. Joeb outlines the firm’s approach in more detail and how it works to enhance the landscape it creates in. “Here at Joeb Moore & Partners we are interested in exploring the interface between the social and physical, between convention and invention. In the broadest sense, our office is committed to the ideal that architecture is a material and social art that cunningly engages with the visual, social and political history and culture of which it is an active part. The underlying thesis is that great architecture should deepen human experience, engage our prosaic rituals, while also elevating our awareness of a larger, changing world. “Overall our work and architecture focuses on the fundamental nature and discord between house and home. In other words, we explore ontological questions of dwelling and the difficult search for connection and meaning in our work and lives. We believe a “home” is not a house at all; it is less about a fixed form or even a place, but more a journey through time and culture itself, a search and homecoming that confronts us with a deeper understanding of our ourselves, the world, and others. It is our understanding of “architecture” as an act of relations, as a relational and deeply situational art where symbolic and real space can duel that makes our firm unique and special.” Looking ahead, Joeb is keen to move into new areas and enhance the experience and knowledge of his firm. “While much of our work is residential, moving forward we have some exciting master planning projects underway that explore ways of connecting of agricultural, historic and commercial infrastructure to create new uses and spaces. This community based design work addresses ways to transform the environmental and social structures of public life through the design of bio-social and bio-technological networks. We are excited for the future and look forward to taking advantage of the opportunities this new work will bring.” Company: Joeb Moore & Partners Name: Joeb Moore Email: [email protected] Web Address: www.joebmoore.com Address: 20 Bruce Park Ave. Greenwich, CT 06830 Telephone: 203-769-5828
