Formidable designer Derek Wrigley, passed away last month, aged 97. You can find his obituary on the ArchitectureAU website and the DIA’s (Design Institute of Australia) website. I knew and worked with Derek for some years in Canberra and I think his design interests were so broad and deep that his exploits could have filled four lives.
Architect
Derek Wrigley graduated in architecture from the Manchester College of Art in 1945 and worked briefly in the UK before emigrating to Australia in 1947. Very soon he purchased an abandoned quarry in Dee Why on the NSW Northern beaches for £100, and he set about building a house, which he called OB1 (for owner builder).
