After two intense years of collaboration with Luc Deleu and the T.O.P. office team, we’re proud to finally share the result: two brand-new books, beautifully published as a boxed set by @hopperandfuchs.
T.O.P. office - Founder’s Choice – Luc Deleu
A 528-page overview of 50+ years of T.O.P. office. Founder’s Choice, compiled and composed by architect Luc Deleu, is the first complete, generously illustrated and large-scale overview on the activities of T.O.P. office, founded in 1970. In ten chapters, the activities from Deleu and his collaborators are presented both thematically and chronologically, showing an oeuvre that is as diverse and elusive as it is coherent and cohesive. From actual buildings to competition projects and proposals, from small interventions to global plans, the work presented in this book is an invitation to face mankind’s spatial presence on earth, and to extract purpose out of it through art and architecture.
Luc Deleu: A Reader
144 pages of writings, lectures, and articles by Luc Deleu. Together with T.O.P. office, Luc Deleu has developed, for more than half a century, an architectural and artistic oeuvre in all kinds of media. Deleu himself, however, has also theorized and explored his own activities, and that of architects and urban planners in general. As a reader and as a writer, he has tried to position and explain himself in words, leading to a unique body of text. This book is the first complete collection of his writings, lectures, and articles, starting with Orbanist Manifesto from 1980 and leading up to Darling Springs: A Call for Beauty from 2024. The book is introduced by means of a conversation between Hans Ulrich Obrist, Nico Dockx and Luc Deleu.
