Expansion of Libraire Pax

It is a pleasure, in the smell of glue and paper, in the comforting density of the books, as you escape the hustle and bustle of the outside world. In the heart of Liège, opposite the Faculty of Philosophy and Letters, near the Emulation, the (future) home of the Théâtre de la Place.

It offers more than 600 m2 of bookstore over 3 floors, served by passionate booksellers. With a large selection of scientific books in the basement and on the 2nd floor a beautiful Youth- and Comics department near the Fine Arts & Architecture department. Including of course the 'Guide Architecture Moderne et Contemporaine 1895-2014 Liège'.

The 2012 expansion of the Pax bookstore on the first floor of Cockerillplein no. 4 and 6 is the work of Architectenwerkplaats Aloys Beguin-Brigitte Massart SPRL. The design assignment consisted of improving the accessibility of the various platforms and the installation of a lift. Thanks to its architecture and the many renovations, the Pax bookstore received the Prix d'Urbanisme de la Ville de Liège.
