CONNECTING

Ideas made to travel.

A good idea can begin in a project, a conversation or a question asked on site. Publishing gives it another life. It allows what we have learnt to be examined, shared and carried into work we may never see ourselves.

GeneXus

Fifteen years of ArchXenus, told through the projects, people and

ideas that have shaped our practice.

GeneXus is both a record of where we have been and a starting point for the questions we are taking forward.

The book will be unveiled on 30 October 2026. A limited number of collectable editions will be offered

at auction during the launch.
