Features: The UK is brimming with young talent, bringing vitality to the creative industries. These creative industries are a crucial part of our economic success. The construction industry is an important component of these industries, but it is a discipline that is difficult for newcomers to gain recognition. This book is the second volume in the "New Architects" series, focusing on continuing the obligations undertaken by the Architects' Foundation to honor the work of young and emerging architectural practices in the UK. The aim is to make high-quality contemporary architecture and urban design accessible to as many readers as possible. Edited by The Architecture Foundation and supported by CABE, it is an authoritative guide to the new generation of architectural talent in the UK and provides essential information for commissioning new projects. The book offers comprehensive reviews of nearly 100 outstanding and emerging architectural practices, accompanied by detailed profiles and color illustrations. The publication of this book marks the arrival of a new era—towns across the UK are being revitalized through innovative architectural projects. The "New Architects" published in 1998 was well-received by both architects and owners and became the primary reference for commissioning new public and private projects. Following the publication of "New Architects," this book is composed of entirely new, up-to-date information and is an indispensable reference for architects, urban planners, owners, students, and architecture enthusiasts. The book lists architectural practices in alphabetical order (A–Z) and provides the following: guidance on how to establish good relationships between owners and architects; an overview of each practice; independent expert reviews of each practice; color illustrations of recent projects by each practice; contact information for each practice.
