Summary:

"In the space of a decade, the Groningen-based architecture bureau Onix has created an impressive body of work that expresses its highly idiosyncratic ideas about architecture." "In many of its projects Onix seeks out novel positions, in which the context and specificity of the local play an important role. They manage this without ever falling into the traps of facile, historicizing solutions or losing sight of global developments. Even more important for Onix is the view that contemporary architecture is overly dominated by concepts and superficial appearances, and too little by actual experience and use." "The crux of Awaiting Signification is therefore the 'authentic architectural experience'. Over a six-month period, Onix invited guests - from expert architecture critics to absolute lay people - to stay in a big new apartment complex. In return, the visitors noted down their experiences with neighbours, shops and public transport, representing a completely new form of architectural critique." "The book includes an illustrated overview of all the important projects by Onix. The bureau unravels its motifs and themes in its own maNUfest."--Jacket.
