Luc Deleu & T.O.P. office - Founder's Choice

Together with T.O.P. office, Luc Deleu spent over half a century building an architectural and artistic oeuvre across a variety of media. At the same time, he critically reflected on his own practice as well as on the role of architecture and urban planning in general. As both reader and writer, he searched for the words to clarify and substantiate his position, resulting in a unique body of texts. Luc Deleu: A Reader brings together his most important texts, lectures, and articles for the first time – from the Orbanist Manifesto (1980) to Darling Springs: A Call for Beauty (2024). The book opens with a conversation between Hans Ulrich Obrist, Nico Dockx, and Luc Deleu.
