Commencement Speaker
Roy Decker, FAIA
Decker, FAIA, is a principal of Duvall Decker Architects, located in Jackson, Mississippi. He with his partner, Anne Marie Duvall Decker, FAIA, founded Duvall Decker in a place defined by both palpable need and engaging culture. The firm is a diverse and expanded practice, employing planning, development, design, and building care to promote the quality of the built environment and the health and well-being of its inhabitants. Duvall Decker delivers design excellence and promotes social, economic, and environmental quality, no matter the scope, type, budget, or scale of the project.
Decker sees architecture as didactic and as an opportunity to make critical and meaningful propositions for the health and growth of our culture. Roy is recognized as a design and critical thought leader, whether in the studio or participating in inner-city neighborhood meetings, serving on student reviews across the country, or sharing his perspective in lectures, juries, and publications. He is regarded as a multi-disciplinary contributor to advancing equity in public form.
Decker received a Master of Architecture degree from Kent State University. Prior to founding Duvall Decker, he spent over a decade splitting his time between practice and teaching, and he has received recognition and honors for both endeavors. He has held architectural teaching positions at Temple University, Mississippi State University, and Jackson State University. He is a member of the American National Council of Architectural Registration Boards (NCARB), the American Planning Association (APA), the Construction Specifications Institute (CSI) and is a Fellow of the American Institute of Architects.
