Terrance Goode is a registered architect in New York State.  He practiced with several NYC architectural offices including R.M. Kliment and Frances Halsband, and James Stewart Polshek and Partners, before beginning his academic career.  Before joining the Syracuse University faculty, Goode taught at the University of Oregon in Eugene and the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor.

Goode has taught first, second and third year design studios in the undergraduate program, second and third year design studios in the graduate program, and acted as thesis advisor in both programs.  His non-studio teaching has included Introduction to Architecture in the undergraduate program and Advanced Building systems in both programs.  He has acted as an academic advisor for Honors students in the School of Architecture and has acted as an Honors Thesis advisor on several occasions.

Goode’s most recent research investigates children’s learning environments, focusing on the spatial implications of constructivist pedagogical approaches such as Montessori and Reggio Emilia.  He has taught a seminar on the evolution of the kindergarten within Modern Architecture and a Thesis Research Studio centered on places of learning.  He is also developing a modular interior environmental system for use in kindergarten and elementary school classrooms.

Previous written research addressed contemporary architectural theory and practice in relation to cultures of consumption, appearing in Center: Architecture and Design in America, the Journal of Architecture and Planning Research, and the Journal of Architectural Education, where he was a member of the editorial board from 1993 to 1998.
