About 

Tim Durfee‘s interdisciplinary architecture studio produces work at all scales, with a particular interest in discovering forms of design relevant for life now. In 2015 he was named one of “Fifty Under Fifty: Innovators of the 21st Century” by a jury of leading architects and educators. His exhibition/installation “Now, There: Scenes from the Post-Geographic City” (co-curated with Mimi Zeiger) was awarded the Bronze Dragon for the 2015/16 Bi-City Biennale of Urbanism/Architecture in Shenzhen. Current projects include a permanent artwork for the LAPD with Iris Anna Regn, private residences, and—with Ben Hooker and Jenny Rodenhouse—“The Logistical Baroque” and “Free-k Zones,” two films in a series that explore potential urban implications of contemporary phenomena in media.

Tim is Research Professor in the Media Design Practices MFA program at ArtCenter College of Design in Pasadena, California. He has degrees in English and Architecture from the University of Rochester and Yale University.
