Biography

Daniel Rosbottom is a Professor of Architecture Interior at Delft University of Technology, leading the Chair of Interiors Buildings Cities. With extensive experience in academia and practice at an international level, he promotes teaching through projects that foster a symbiotic relationship between practice and education. Previously, he served as the Head of the School of Architecture and Landscape at Kingston University in London, where he guided students in design research projects that had a tangible impact on the wider city, collaborating with London's Mayor's office. Co-founding DRDH Architects in 2000 with David Howarth, Rosbottom's firm has received international acclaim for its competition-winning projects, including a renowned concert hall and public library in Bodø, Norway.
