Nox is an agency of Design to the most varied activities. Founded (date) by two architects who are Maurice Nio and Lars Spuybroek, Nox is focused primarily on the mixture between architecture and the media. In this direction, this agency has developed for several years the possibilities of an interactive architectural territory; their research relates to the appearance and the multiplication of the information supports directly related to the subject, at the architectural building; i.e. to find the means of creating spaces where the matter and information amalgamate. It is a question of adapting architecture to our novel modes of Perception. But much more than one simple adaptation, it makes the synthesis of technologies existing and being born. Typical example of this research, the Fresh water House, HtwoO expo, becomes emblematic of a liquid architecture, term defined by American Marcos Novak. The most innovative projects approach the idea of an architecture Cognitive, expert system reactive which adapts according to the needs and the functions.

Nox is also an agency which produced vidéos, installations, a magazine, texts and architectural constructions. This hybrid production was guided by a faintness vis-a-vis the restricted possibilities offered by the classical architecture. By a kind of engineering genetic métissant the Architecture with other media, Nox was able to produce a flexible Architecture emanating from the world of the biological organization S and of the world of modern technologies which are the Informatique and the electronic . What takes into account Nox, it is the process of transformation. Nothing is fixed in time. On the basis of this report, architecture was to be flexible. Basic concept to seize the prospects for the group, the constant evolution involves the ceaseless introduction of new technologies which meet our need for the accessory which takes precedence over the idea of comfort, with our need for potentialities and for events which exceeds our design of stable and for the durable one. " the liquid in architecture means not only the generation of the geometry of the fluid and turbulences but also the dissolution of all that is solid and crystalline. "
