Showcases ten outstanding art-in-architecture works by Belgian artist Benoît van Innis.

Belgian artist and illustrator Benoît van Innis (1960–2024) created numerous drawings and cartoons that were published in both European and American magazines, most prominently The New Yorker. In the late 1990s, he increasingly turned to painting, engaged with architecture, and was involved in various projects that brought together art and the built environment.

Benoît: Artist en architecture is the first French-language book to feature the artist’s collaboration with Belgian, Swiss, and British design firms De Smet Vermeulen, EM2N, jo taillieu architecten / advvt, Kraaijvanger Architects, Marie-José Van Hee, Robbrecht en Daem, noAarchitecten, and Sergison Bates architects. It offers insight into his creative exchanges with architects and traces the emergence of a shared, new authorship in the interplay of art and architecture. Organized into four thematic chapters—titled Tables, Pièces, Espace, and Ville—, ten of Benoît’s spatial works are presented in depth, each introduced by a descriptive text. Supplementing essays shed light on Benoît’s methods and craftsmanship, and the volume is rounded out with an illustrated complete catalog of Benoît’s entire art-in-architecture oeuvre.
