Since founding the T.O.P. ("Turn On Planning") Office in the 1970s,
Belgian architect and artist Luc Deleu (born 1944) has been working
on a critical, sociological and ecological approach to urbanism
that he has named "orbanism": an eco-centric global urbanism that
has anticipated such contemporary concerns as environmental
pollution, overpopulation, food production and the conflict between
the individual and the community. "Orban Space" traces Deleu's work
and practice through a conceptual topography defined by seven
terms: architecture, syncretism, depiction, sculpture, scale,
mobility and manifesto. This book presents a biographical portrait
of Luc Deleu and T.O.P. Office and situates them within a broader
historical and theoretical framework, where they emerge from the
lineage defined by such idiosyncratic utopian visionaries as the
Metabolists, Buckminster Fuller, Superstudio, Yona Friedman and
Constant Nieuwenhuis.
