Andrew Derbyshire
Sir Andrew George Derbyshire FRIBA was a British architect. He was a senior partner, later Chairman, and following retirement, President, of the architectural practice Robert Matthew Johnson-Marshall and Partners, under the original named-partner architects. He was appointed in 1986. Derbyshire had taken degrees at Queens' College, University of Cambridge, and at the Architectural Association, London, before realising, as principal architect with RMJM, the master-planning and designing of the University of York campus in Heslington, said to be his chef d'oeuvre.
Other works included the Castle Market in Sheffield. His Hillingdon Civic Centre in a neo-vernacular style made extensive use of brick and tile, to pay homage to traditional homely brick architecture of nearby buildings and suburban developments that were "indigenous to the borough".
National Life Stories conducted an oral history interview with Andrew Derbyshire in 2003 for its Architects Lives' collection held by the British Library.
