For over five decades, Deleu has redefined the relationship between architecture, society, and the planet, operating at the intersection of art, urbanism, and environmental ethics. His radical, speculative proposals &mdash; ranging from floating cities to planetary-scale planning &mdash; provoke reflection on global responsibility and sustainable futures.<\/p>\n<p>Founder&#8217;s choice reads as a major retrospective, initiated by Deleu himself and presented across institutions including M HKA (Antwerp), Middelheim Museum, University of Ghent, S.M.A.K. Ghent and CIVA (Brussels). Through texts, interviews, and visual documentation, it offers a deep dive into the firm&rsquo;s critical thinking and methodologies, presenting both historical projects and new works. The publication underscores T.O.P. office&rsquo;s enduring influence on contemporary architectural discourse, situating their practice as both intellectual and aesthetic intervention. A must-have for architects, theorists, policymakers and artists interested in the evolving dialog between design, ethics, and ecology.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A comprehensive reader on Luc Deleu &amp;
