Book Launch: FOUNDER’S CHOICE by Luc Deleu & T.O.P. office (EN)
Founder’s Choice, compiled by architect Luc Deleu, is the first comprehensive, richly illustrated, and large-scale overview of the activities of T.O.P. office, founded in 1970. From completed buildings to competition proposals, from small-scale interventions to global concepts – this book invites the reader to reflect on humanity’s spatial presence on Earth and to discover meaning and direction in it through art and architecture.
The event will start with a presentation about the book and his work by Luc Deleu, followed by a conversation with Dirk Snauwaert and a book signing.
Free event
Together with T.O.P. office, Luc Deleu (b. 1944) spent over half a century building an architectural and artistic production 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. 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).
