Hardcover, Jacket: Very Good, 25 x 25 cm, 248 pp., English, 1st Edition, Illustrations, book condition: Very Good. The Belgian architecture firm Conix was founded in 1979 and has, in nearly three decades led by Christine Conix, architect Sylvie Bruyninckx and interior designer An Steylaerts, grown to a staff of 55. No other firm is as widely represented along the quays of Antwerp, but that accomplishment doesn't convey the exceptional diversity of their projects, both residential and business. In recent years, Conix has received a great deal of international attention for one project in particular: the just-completed renovation of the midcentury design landmark, the Atomium, in Brussels, a replica of an atom that stands more than 300 feet high, with a different space in each 60-foot sphere, from a children's museum to a restaurant. "Conix Architecten" features an exceptionally sleek interior design and the book's pages are even edged in silver. With special emphasis on the Atomium, it features a selection of outstanding recent projects in 200 illustrations.

CONIX ARCHITECTS. CONTINUOUSLY IN MOTION,
Oostkamp, Stichting Kunstboek, 2007 Bound, black cloth, pictorial dustjacket, 250 x 250mm., 240pp., profoundly colour illustrated. ISBN 9789058562173.
Conix Architects has grown steadily over the years, but it 's expansion has gained momentum in particular over the last couple of years. Founded in 1979 by Christine Conix, the architectural practice has offices in both Antwerp and Brussels (since 2004). It is a solid structure composed of a team of 67 creative and motivated individuals. Sylvie Bruyninckx became a partner in 2005. Key projects include the modern master residence in the historic Cogels Osylei in Antwerp (1992) and the renovation and expansion of the Atomium in Brussels (2005). Developing office buildings, apartments, housing and urban concepts form the basis of the architects' activities. However, to not focus on a specific typology is a conscious decision made by the office: every project offers it's own challenges. Private homes, interior design, schools, cultural projects, commercial buildings and renovations are also included in the portfolio of the architectural practice. The type of architecture Conix Architects strives for integrates 4 basic ideas: context, durability, society and know-how, which is always characterized by its open spatial concept. The needs, desires and expectations of the client are translated into unique contemporary projects. Conix Architects has created a book, with contributions by Kas Oosterhuis en Monique E. Bucquoye. The book is published by Stichting Kunstboek and is in English. 'Conix Architects' gives a review on outstanding projects, conceptual ideas and background information on the current and future ambitions of Conix Architects. New book.
