The Juries
Tim Molloy -
Science Museum
Tim has led an unprecedented series of award-winning projects since joining the Science Museum as Head of Design in 1993. He brought with him experiences in a number of commercial multi-disciplinary consultancies, including Minale Tattersfield, Conran and Crighton – as well as his own successful practice Simpson Molloy.
In recent years Tim has provided creative direction for the £55m Wellcome Wing (2000), Dana Centre (2003), Energy gallery (2004) and the Energy Hall (2005). In 2007 the Museum's popular Launchpad gallery was completely reinvented. Working with the Science Museum Learning team, Tim's creative direction resulted in an award-winning new gallery that not only captivates record numbers of its target audiences of 8-12 year-olds, but also delights adults and the ever-elusive older teenager. Tim is also responsible for the development of the Museum of the Future, the Science Museum's visionary master plan.
A determined collaborative non-specialist, Tim actively supports the public understanding of visual communication through design education, in the broadest sense. He’s a highly respected figure in the design industry, and is known for challenging preconceptions in the pursuit of truly memorable and rewarding visitor experiences.
