LUC DELEU & T.O.P. office FUTURE PLANS

28.04.2021 - 26.09.2021 | DESINGEL, Antwerp

The Flanders Architecture Institute and deSingel are launching Future Plans, an exhibition comprising work by Luc Deleu & T.O.P. office. Never before has so much work created by this extraordinarily idiosyncratic design office been brought together. Curators Peter Swinnen and Anne Judong were given unlimited access to the archives of T.O.P. office. The result is an exhibition hall bursting at the seams with installations in and around deSingel, unique archive material and new future plans.

Opening event: 06.05.2021 at 20:00 h
