{"product_id":"9789078088608","title":"Luc Deleu: Orban Space: The Work and Practice of Luc Deleu, T.O.P. Office","description":"\u003cp\u003eSince 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. \u003ci\u003eOrban Space\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Valiz","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47059358122224,"sku":"9789078088608","price":37.52,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9789078088608_p0.jpg?v=1763671230","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9789078088608","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
