Tent poles in the ground is a collection of twenty-one texts by Stephen Bates. Like the three-volume collection of Papers (2001, 2007, 2016) written with Jonathan Sergison, Tent poles testifies to the importance of writing as part of a form of practice that includes building and teaching.
The texts included are part of the process of developing and testing ideas in Sergison Bates’ London studio and at the Chair of Urbanism and Housing at TU München. Covering a range of themes, from domesticity to the city and the inescapable challenges of designing sustainably in a climate crisis, they record both the fundamental principles that inform his approach to architecture and the shifts in thinking that have come about in thirty years of practice.
Book presentation with the participation of Bet Capdeferro and the author, Stephen Bates.
