Half a century of Luc Deleu & T.O.P. office is the source of inspiration for this striking exhibition. When architect and artist Luc Deleu and his wife Laurette Gillemot founded T.O.P. office in 1970, they were acutely aware of the social power of architecture, but also of art and the urgency of harnessing this. Architecture as an uncompromising medium for showing the scale of the world and constantly questioning it. Armed with a ruthless but humorous logic, a firm belief in the freedom of the individual and a sustained concern for ecology, T.O.P. office continues to hold up a mirror to citizens and politicians. Always unsolicited. Simply because it has to be done. The fact that the majority of projects will never be built is now beside the point. They exist and stubbornly continue to demand attention
The publication 'Luc Deleu & T.O.P. office - Future plans 1970-2020', compiled by Peter Swinnen and Anne Judong, not only offers a wonderful overview of projects from the past 50 years. It also presents previously unseen archive material. Some 44 writers offer a sometimes personal reflection on one of the future plans from the list of 63 projects. Well-known names from the art and architecture world are interspersed with new voices. The result is a multidisciplinary and polyphonous perspective on the work of Luc Deleu & T.O.P. office.
