Sir Andrew George Derbyshire FRIBA (7 October 1923 – 3 March 2016) was a British architect.[1][2] He was a senior partner, later Chairman, and following retirement, President, of the architectural practice Robert Matthew Johnson-Marshall (RMJM) and Partners, under the original named-partner architects. He was knighted in 1986.[3]

Derbyshire studied at Queens' College, 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 (from 1962), said to be his chef d'oeuvre.[4][5]

Hillingdon Civic Centre by Derbyshire

Other works included the Castle MarketinSheffield.[6] 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".[7][8][9]

National Life Stories conducted an oral history interview (C467/77) with Andrew Derbyshire in 2003 for its Architects Lives' collection held by the British Library.[10]
