Register - Jonathan Sergison (sergison Bates)

In this episode Andrew Clancy speaks with Professor Jonathan Sergison about his work as a writer, an educator, and architect. Jonathan established Sergison Bates Architects together with Stephen Bates in the mid-1990's, and the practice quickly gained a reputation for the manner with which it could find meaning in the actualities of contemporary construction, and in the care with which they read and articulated contextual readings of place. These sensibilities were already evident in a series of essays written by Jonathan and Stephen before the establishment of the practice, and this culture of writing continues with the collected essays released periodically in volumes entitled 'Papers'. The practice has garnered significant national and international acclaim - including the Schelling medal and the Tessenow Medal. In 2008 Jonathan was appointed as a Professor in the Accademia di Architettura Mendrisio, a post he continues to hold. He moved to Switzerland in 2012, and no directs the Zurich office of Sergison Bates. Teaching is essential to Jonathans practice, and the work of his studio in Mendrisio concentrates on continuities in urban culture, each semester focussing on a different city.
