JOEB MOORE, FAIA (1959-)

Moore grew up in northern Westchester County NY.  His high school offered an architecture program, but he found it uninspiring; his first two years at Clemson University were spent instead on environmental economics, philosophy, social studies, and the history of aesthetics. He declared an architecture major in his junior year, earning a BS and MA. from Clemson. After graduate school Moore settled in Connecticut and joined Shope Reno Wharton, the Greenwich firm celebrated for its Shingle-style residential work, where he practiced for nearly a decade. In 1988 he began post-professional studies in architectural history and theory at Yale while still working part time at Shope Reno Wharton. He also worked for Myron Goldfinger. In 1992, he left to teach at Columbia University. The following year he founded Kaehler/Moore Architects in Greenwich with Laura Kaehler.  The firm's first commission, a house called Winding Lane, won a regional AIA award. Moore later established Joeb Moore & Partners, which has received over 60 national, regional, and state design awards, including a 2023 Architectural Record House award.  Moore has taught at Yale, where he has been Senior Critic since 2006; at Barnard/Columbia's Undergraduate Architecture Department, which he joined in 1992 and led as Assistant Director from 1996 to 2006; and as Visiting Professor at Roger Williams University (2016) and Clemson (2018).
