Not a theoretician, L H De Koninck has rooted his design in the in-depth understanding of popular architecture developed by farmers on the Belgian sea shore.

He spent many years copying these natural design, and maintained a deep sense of them all his life even when expressed through the most modern concepts and breakthrough use of lights and space in the 1920s.

"History makers are often ignored for too long like the Californian architect Rudolf Schindler (1887-1953) whose career runs parallel to that of Louis-H De Koninck; it was only during the sixties that his work was examined for the first time then discovered and eventually revealed.

A growing corpus of publication is made possible thanks to a very important leg of LH De K to the Belgian Archives d'Architecture Moderne at his death in 1984.

It was an important leg both in quality and size as he meticulously kept all his life every details of blueprint, sketches, drawings, correspondence, bills, accounts, official items,... in essence every kind of paper related to his profession.
