This is a package of publications produced through engagement in a three year EU HERA funded research project, Scarcity and

Creativity in the Built Environment, led by Jeremy Till, with Goodbun a contributor to the original research application. It includes

an edited AD Profile containing three contributions by Goodbun, three papers published in the research project’s newspaper

(SCIBE) and a contribution to an ACSA Conference in San Francisco in 2012. Goodbun was also lead organiser of an exhibition in Bromley-by-Bow in 2013 as part of the project and participated in other associated research dissemination activities. This work draws on Goodbun’s broader research and expertise in interpreting the neo-Marxian scholarship in Urban Political Ecology and Critical Geography (notably Erik Swyngedouw and David Harvey) in the

context of architectural and urban questions. His readings are informed by his interpretation of the philosopher of ecology,

Gregory Bateson, producing a critical and political reading of ecological systems theory. Goodbun’s early paper ‘The Production

of Value’ was heavily referenced by Jeremy Till in his early papers on Scarcity, and was referenced three times by Elizabeth

Goldern and Gundula Proksch in their keynote introduction to the Scarcity sessions at the ACSA conference. The co-edited AD

Profile will also be submitted by Jeremy Till for Central St Martins and Deljana Iossifova for the University of Manchester. The

AD profile paper was co-written and will also be submitted by Karin Jaschke for the University of Brighton.
