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.

Ken Yeang remains one of the world's foremost experts on sustainability and the modern skyscraper. Acknowledging that the skyscraper is possibly one of the most ecologically unfriendly of all building types, he states that until an economically viable alternative is identified, it is necessary to make them as humane and as sustainable as possible. Each project is presented together with data on its climatic location, the local vegetation, plot ratio, net and gross areas.

Young architects in the UK are making a name for themselves, not just because of the buildings they design, but also because of the ethos they share — one that embraces concern for the environment and makes a virtue of limited budgets. In New Arcadians, Lucy Bullivant profiles 15+ cutting-edge UK-based practices, presenting recent key projects as well as interviews with the architects. The architects' ecological awareness is evident in a wide range of schemes, from Nord's Shingle House in Dungeness, Kent, which makes use of sustainable and recyclable materials, to Plasma Studio's Flowing Gardens for the 2011 World Horticultural Expo at Xi'an, China, an inspiring example of urban regeneration. Other projects employ ecologically intelligent building materials or demonstrate a commitment to protecting and increasing biodiversity. Complete with an introduction exploring key trends in contemporary British architecture and full biographies of all the featured practices, New Arcadians is an exciting overview of the work and attitudes of a rising generation of UK architects who are reinvigorating the profession.
