Jon Goodbun’s Summary
Jon Goodbun (jon@wag-architecture.co.uk) co-founded the practice WAG: Working Architecture Group (www.wag-architecture.co.uk) in 2002, and is currently working on a new build, zero carbon house in Homerton, a bar and art gallery in Hackney Central, and a house for himself.
In addition to leading architectural design and innovation at WAG, he contributes to think-tanks and branding/innovation workshops, including work for multinational corporations such as BP, Procter and Gamble, and WHSmith, and the EU funded DEEDS project (embedding sustainability into design).
He has published and lectured widely, on subjects ranging from Las Vegas urbanism, architectural drawing and the similarities that can be found in the ideas of the young Karl Marx, nineteenth century German spatial aesthetics and twentieth century media theory!!
He is currently on research sabbatical at the University of Westminster, and his PhD, entitled 'The Architecture of the Extended Mind', combines thinking on ecology, aesthetics, cybernetics and cognitive science, and is due to be submitted in 2008.
His students have won many awards and competitions, including RIBA Silver Medal. He is currently teaching on the Urban Cultures MSc programme at the University of Westminster, and contributes to the WAG degree studio at the University of Greenwich, which is researching housing developing via an expanded conception of ecology in architecture. He leads the Polytechnic research group at the University of Westminster, and regularly contributes articles to the group's blog: www.thepolytechnic.org
