Tim Frank is a registered architect and artist whose work is grounded in first principles inquiry that explores the ambient potential of the built environment. His many forms of practice are galvanized by an intense, physical engagement with the craft of building, where drawing, modeling, and construction become instruments for reaffirming the fundamental relationships that constitute coherent works of architecture. An active educator, he has taught at Virginia Tech, Mississippi State, Georgia Tech, and SCAD, among other institutions. His projects, including the AIA Merit Award–winning Angier Springs Monumental Work and the first-place AIA 10-UP Tensegrity Aviary, reflect a sustained investigation into how basic building elements such as structure, enclosure, and material are put to task in pursuit of architecture’s essential aims of environmental attunement and human experience. His work has been exhibited internationally, including a solo exhibition at the Museum of Design Atlanta, and published widely. He is a recipient of the James Marston Fitch Foundation Mid-Career Fellowship and other national research and design honors.
