Timothy Matthew Collins embraces an interdisciplinary process traversing architecture, visual art, and publications. He has been teaching design studios for almost twenty years, with extensive experience in the entire curricula of university architecture education, from introductory architectonics and analysis to comprehensive building design and advanced theory. Working recently as an Adjunct Associate Professor at Singapore University of Technology and Design as well as a Part Time Lecturer at the National University of Singapore, Timothy has developed different pedagogical techniques, teaching texts, speculative assignments, and presentation practices to create a healthy, vibrant, and transparent studio culture. In tandem with academic responsibilities, he has worked as a Senior Architectural Designer specializing in residential renovations involving concept modelling, custom detailing, and conscientious construction administration.

Timothy is also a mixed media visual artist focusing on the eschatological implications of collage. His research is directed toward architectural model-making that incorporates found objects to explore the interstitial spaces introduced through the operations of scale. His work has been exhibited in numerous galleries in the United States, as well as Italy and Germany, and are part of several museums’ permanent collections. Timothy has recently published on the theological confrontation between Walter Benjamin’s materialist historiography and Eucharistic Eschatology and guest edited an issue of Listening / Journal of Communication Ethics, Religion, and Culture on “Catholic Art After Christendom”. His essays, artwork, and design projects have also appeared in several other publications including Open City: Existential Urbanity by Diane Lewis (Charta, 2015) and Architects Draw: Freehand Fundamentals by Sue Ferguson Gussow (Princeton Architectural Press, 2008; reissued by Architectural Publisher B, 2023).

Timothy obtained his post-professional Master of Architecture degree from Syracuse University’s Graduate School of Architecture in Florence, Italy and received a professional Bachelor of Architecture degree from the Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art in New York.
