Daniel Goodricke

Daniel is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Architecture and Built Environment at Northumbria University. As an industry-facing architect-academic, he contributes to creative practice research and research-informed teaching.

Working at the intersections of academia and industry, his teaching, research and practice spans interests in the design of children’s spaces, collaborative practice and architecture education.

Daniel’s current research, in collaboration with Seven Stories: The National Centre for Children’s Books and initially funded by the UKRI AHRC, explores children and young peoples interactions at multiple scales; from the book, to the archive and the city, and proposes a set of ideas for increasing access to their collections.

Daniel leads the first year of the Architect (Level 7) Degree Apprenticeship, coordinates the End Point Assessment (DA7017) and manages admissions.  He is also co-authoring an Architecture Apprenticeship Handbook (RIBA Publishing, 2024), intended to demystify this route into the profession for students and practices, and help them to succeed.

He also coordinates the third-year Professional Practice stream, working with an extensive professional network of architecture and built environment professionals to enrich academic curriculum and ensure preparedness for entry into professional practice.

Daniel is a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (HEA), member of the RIBA Validation Panel and RIBA New Courses Group, and has more recently chaired visiting boards to UK and international schools of architecture. He is also an external examiner to the undergraduate degrees in architecture at London South Bank University and University of Bath.

Daniel is a Registered Architect with the Architects Registration Board (ARB) and a Chartered Member of the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA).
