rheomode

Dr Jon Goodbun is based in London and Athens, where he runs Rheomode, a small experimental research studio working at the intersection of architecture, technology, art and ecological pedagogy. He is the Theory Lead on the MA Environmental Architecture programme at the Royal College of Art in London and contributes to both the MA Architecture and MA Landscape Architecture programmes at the Bartlett School of Architecture, UCL London.

As both a design studio tutor and a history/theory tutor, over two decades he has supervised some of the best students of their generations, winning practically all awards available, including two RIBA Research Medals, a RIBA Silver Medal, Wallpaper magazines’ ‘Worlds’ Hottest New Talents’, and innumerable other industry and institution based prizes.

He has published widely and is currently working on a book ‘The Ecological Calculus’, which builds on his doctoral thesis ‘The Architecture of the Extended Mind’. 

He is involved in a number of initiatives and projects at the intersection of ecological thinking, environmental architecture and experimental pedagogy, and runs the occasional nomadic school Derailed Lab, which uses very long distance train rides as site of personal reflection and a collective eco-political expression.

He is currently focused on setting up ‘rheomode’ spaces for short courses and collaborators-in-residence, aimed at developing a new kind of ecological learning context, adjacent to, but distinct from, his more mainstream academic teaching and research.
