Richard Goodwin (born 1953 in Sydney) is an Australian artist, architect and professor of Fine Arts and Design at the College of Fine Arts, University of New South Wales. He is the director of Richard Goodwin Pty Ltd, a Sydney based practice that evolves and provokes the boundaries of art and architectural practice.

His work ranges from freeway infrastructure to the gallery to “parasitic” architecture / public artworks. Fundamental to his work and philosophy, is the notion of adaptive res-use and radical transformations. His artwork is held in major collections including the Art Gallery of NSW, the National Gallery of Victoria and the Nuremburg Museum.

In 1996 Goodwin established the Porosity Studio at the College of Fine Arts within the University of New South Wales. The studio enquires into a dynamic understanding of art, architecture and urban design: that the movement of people through the built environment and their patterns of inhabitation constitutes a politically rich layer of architecture.

Since 2004 the studios were run as intensive, international, multi-disciplinary workshops and have been recognized and supported internationally by various universities and institutions such as the British Council entitled, Real-Time Porosity: Using Computer Gaming Technology to Map and Analyse Pedestrian Movement in Public and Private Space.

In 2002 Goodwin was awarded the prestigious Discovery Grant from the Australian Research Council (ARC). This body of research, Porosity, has been widely published and exhibited in galleries across Sydney and has begun to influence the way designers, architects, artists and even emergency services view the city fabric. In 2009, the ARC awarded Richard Goodwin a Linkage Grant to develop Porosity using real-time technologies and gaming engines in collaboration with UNSW architecture academic, Russell Lowe. He is the author of “Porosity: the Architecture of Invagination”, and has published many articles on issues of public space   , and chapters in collected works.
