"For a while now the 'Young British Artists' have been soaking up the international limelight thanks to a sensibility that is at once outrageous and thoughtful. Architecture, of course, always takes a while to catch up to the other arts, but now, finally, Britain has emerged as one of the world's most fertile breeding grounds for international design talent.". It's very refined, not necessarily to everyone's liking, take David Adjaye for example. But it is true that this next wave is building exciting and very different projects (the Amazon page has some excerpts). British Built includes studio profiles and essays for projects by S333, Caruso St John, Alison Brooks, Foreign Office Architects (FOA), muf, Allford Hall Monaghan Morris, Gollifer Langston, de Rijke Marsh Morgan (dRMM), Kathryn Findlay, FAT, Adjaye Associates, Sergison Bates, Klein Dytham Architects (KDa), and Deborah Saunt David Hills Architects. Hardcover, 256 pages, 250 color photos, 50 B&W, $29.70 at Amazon.
