Tim is a creative and innovative thinker, and an expert on digital fabrication and design for manufacture. For Tim, the most interesting solutions often come from getting a synergy from how a material behaves, and how it can be fabricated to create a simple unfussy structure: a belief exemplified in many of the artworks he has had a hand in, where the engineering aim is to make each piece structural and self-supporting. 

 

In 2015 Tim was the recipient of the IABSE Milne Medal, awarded to an individual engineer for excellence in structural design, both in the overall concept and in the attention to detail in their work.
