About

AIBW focuses on the delivery of complex projects requiring integrated thinking across building disciplines.  Particularly valuable to many clients is the potential to draw on expertise across the fields of architectural design, structural engineering, and conservation management.

Anderson is ideally suited to act as design team leader for projects that involve re-purposing existing and heritage buildings, as well as challenging new-build.  Anderson has worked with a wide range of private individuals, institutions, corporate clients, and public sector bodies.  

Anderson makes effective use of strong in-meeting drawing skills, for numerous pre-design roles such as development of client brief, feasibility studies, design option visualizations, and planning for services and construction. He is exceptionally responsive to client direction as he aims to develop inventive, well-detailed architecture.

Following degree study at the University of Texas in Austin, the Architectural Association in London, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge,  Anderson Inge registered as an architect in Massachusetts in 1983.  Anderson's particular interests in architectural design led him to complete an additional training in structural engineering while at MIT.

Anderson's early practice included two years with Cambridge Seven Associates, followed by eight years as owners' agent and project manager for a wide range of institutions, developers and corporate clients.  In 1989 Anderson relocated to London as Manager of UK Operations for a Boston-based architecture practice, securing and managing design contracts for over 50,000 sqm of space at Canary Wharf.

The design and construction doldrums of the early ‘90s afforded an opportunity to focus intensely on a hands-on involvement with materials in the form of sculpture.  BFA studies in sculpture at Central Saint Martins have given Anderson a unique understanding of the architectural potential of a wide range of materials and forming strategies.

Since 1997 Anderson has combined architecture practice with teaching, both of which bring design together with innovation in the use of materials and structure.  Most recently, Anderson has been Project Director for a £30M conversion and extension of a Grade II* listed former ecclesiastical building located in central London into a 5* hotel.  Prior to that Anderson completed the dramatic renovation of a penthouse at Limehouse Basin. 

For ten years Anderson has taught at Auburn University’s Rural Studio in western Alabama, where his twice-annual workshops have enabled the Fifth Year design and build architecture students to achieve significant community buildings with innovative structures.  He has taught in the sculpture departments at the University of Oxford’s Ruskin School, Royal College of Art, and Central Saint Martins.  He taught structures courses with CAR director Philip Cooper for many years at the Architectural Association, where he now teaches hand drawing from observation.
