Tim Derrington
Architect Tim Derrington lectures on adaptive reuse and his studio's idealistic pragmatism at DAAP, free and open to the public.
Tim Derrington founded Derrington Building Studio in 2011 to practice an idealistic pragmatism — design ambition disciplined by what buildings actually have to do. He trained at the University of Houston under John Zemanek, whose teaching tied modernist rigor to a craftsman's attention to detail; that pairing, refracted through study of the Japanese Sukiya tradition, remains the studio's intellectual root. Tim is licensed to practice architecture in Texas.
He directed the studio's short documentary "Design vs. Build," which makes the case that drawing and construction are one continuous conversation rather than two separate professions. He lectures and writes occasionally on adaptive reuse, the Type IIB shell, and the experiential-venue typology. Date: October 28th Time: 4–5 PM Location: Aronoff 5401, DAAP, University of Cincinnati This event is free and open to the public.
