For many years renowned British architect Jonathan Sergison has been combining practical work with academic teaching. In this new book he offers personal views on the interplay between these two spheres and the great significance he sees in combining them. At the core of Practice / Teaching is a programmatic conversation on the topic with Sergison, conducted by architect and theoretician Irina Davidovici. In addition, the book offers four previously unpublished texts by Sergison, in which he explores the topic from various perspectives, based on his profound experience both as a practising architect and as a teacher. Published to coincide with an exhibit curated by Sergison at this year's 16th International Architecture Exhibition of the Venice Biennale, 26 May - 25 November 2018.
