Bio

Stephen Bates graduated from the Royal College of Art in London in 1989. After working in London and Barcelona, he co-founded Sergison Bates architects with Jonathan Sergison in 1996. In 2006 the practice was awarded the Heinrich Tessenow Gold Medal for Architecture and the Erich Schelling Medal for Architecture, and many of their projects have earned international recognition and prestigious awards. Stephen Bates has taught at various architectural schools, including the Architectural Association in London, ETH Zurich and EPFL Lausanne, ESARQ and ETSAB in Barcelona, The Oslo School of Architecture and Design and the Harvard University Graduate School of Design. Since 2009 he has been Professor of Urbanism and Housing at TU München with Bruno Krucker. Through the development of numerous projects and his teaching he has explored the practical and theoretical aspects of city making and domesticity and written extensively the relationship between the two scales. He has been a member of several Design Review Panels in London and has served on many international competition juries, including the Iberian Premis FAD, the Stirling Prize in the UK, the Belgian Prize for Architecture and as President of the jury for the 2017 European Unioin Prize for Contemporary Architecture - Mies van der Rohe Award.
