Profiling Britain’s most dynamic and intriguing practices, 'Anglo Files' follows the successful formula of 'SuperDutch' and 'Swiss Made', presenting the best up-and-coming architects at work in the UK today.
Unique to this survey of young British architects is the synthesis of foreign cultures with local conditions and sensibility; many of the architects featured here hail originally from outside the UK.
Fourteen studios are fully profiled, each presented in recent projects shown in detail through photographs, plans and computer renderings. The profiles are bookended by two essays, one that considers the context for the work, and one that discusses a number of fledgling studios who are beginning to make a mark in the fields of urban design and public housing.
The distinctive qualities of this book, together with its relevance to contemporary architectural practice everywhere, will make it a core volume for every architecture list.
