The pragmatic Anglo - Saxon method of competition (reliability, track record, ability to get on with the client) is hardly the environment to encourage creative young architects, or to give them the opportunity to acquire the skills of their craft or the experience of developing and testing ideas through construction. It is no surprise therefore that the young partnership of Jonathan Sergison and Stephen Bates looks towards Europe for its inspiration. These are architects not interested in pursuing the spectacular, nor are they interested in concentrating their energies in the evolution of strategies to win commissions in the commercial market. Instead they would like the opportunity to practise architecture that has social relevance and physical meaning. They are inspired by the European architecture of the last 30 years (Rafael Moneo, Alvaro Siza, Eduardo Souto de Moura, Herzog &de Meuron, Roger Diener), as well as a younger generation of European contemporaries. Along with some of their London colleagues, especially Tony Fretton and Caruso St John, they share a fascination for the work of Peter and Alison Smithson. Since setting up in practice together in the early 1990s, Sergison Bates has carved out a distinctive, more European - style niche in the UK. They are to be respected for their commitment to a rigorous way of working and a challenging body of work. The achievement of this young practice lies not with any singular work, rather in the fact that they have accumulated both a convincing way of working and talking about architecture and, as this monograph of "2G" review testifies, a body of work to be admired.

Ten conversations on current issues and timeless aspects of architecture form an inspirational reader for both professionals and anyone with an interest in architecture. Sergison Bates architects, established in 1996 and today running offices in London, Zurich, and Brussels, have made a name for themselves with projects ranging from housing to care homes, from educational and cultural institutions to urban-scale regeneration designs. Since the outset, the partners have engaged with the debate within the professions and have curated a number of exhibitions about the themes they explore in their teaching and practice. This book features ten conversations Jonathan Sergison, Stephen Bates, and Mark Tuff have conducted with prominent Swiss-based architects, historians, and researchers and in which they reflect with their guests on the many aspects of making, teaching, and writing architecture. Toipcs and guests include: Learning from the European City (Roger Diener), The Provocation of Sustainability (Sascha Roesler), Rethinking Housing Conventions (Jean-Paul Jaccaud), Learning from the Recent Past (Stanislaus von Moos), Thinking and Writing (Martin Steinmann), Exploring Construction (Roger Boltshauser), Shaping Public Space (Maria Conen and Raoul Sigl), Finding and Repurposing (Elisabeth and Martin Boesch), Lessons from Teaching (Ludovica Molo), and Working Methods (Oliver Lütjens and Thomas Padmanabhan). The lively dialogues draw shared experiences in practice, teaching, and research, and form an inspirational reader for anyone with a deeper interest in architectural practice.

Jonathan Sergison is an architect and cofounder of the London and Zurich-based Sergison Bates Architects. Since 2008, in addition to design work, Sergison has taught as professor of design and construction at the Academy of Architecture in Mendrisio, Switzerland. In an exhibition on the relationship between teaching and practice for the Sixteenth International Architecture Exhibition of the Venice Biennale, he shows how deeply connected these two passions are. Published to coincide with an exhibition at the 2018 International Architecture Exhibition of the Venice Biennale, Teaching / Practice takes the form of an interview on the interplay between these two fundamental aspects of Sergison's practice, conducted by Irina Davidovici, an architect and senior research assistant at ETH Zurich's Institute for the History and Theory of Architecture (gta). The book also offers five essays by Sergison, in which he explores some of the central issues his work addresses. In A Teaching Position, he questions the level of ability students ought to have when graduating from architecture school. In Twenty-One Lessons Learnt, he discusses what he has learned from his practice over the first two decades. Reflections on the European City explores an urban architecture of uniformity for a society of diversity, while Brutalism Remembered deals with the legacy of brutalism, and Re-use suggests an approach to an urban heritage shaped by the past. Exhibition: 16th Architecture Biennale, Venice, Italy (26.05. 2018 - 25.11.2018).

The London-based architectural practice of Sergison Bates combines building projects, construction research and teaching. The publication presents eight casestudy projects made between 1997 and 2005. Each of them explores the spatial potential of brick construction and identifies the possibilities for the materiality of buildings to have a direct emotional effect.
