April 3rd, Matthijs Bouw moderates ‘Dancing With Utopia’ @ Aedes Architekturforum
“Dancing with utopia” is about the day-to-day business of creative industries. In the Netherlands, the notion of creative capital as an important instrument in urban policies and in branding the city is already quite accepted. Berlin, awarded “City of Design” status by UNESCO in 2006, is considered to be an incubator of the creative industries. What does reality look like? Can one regard urbanity as the matrix of creativity? What future and potential will creative industries have – and above all: what utopia are we talking about?

About us
One Architecture is an Amsterdam based architecture and planning firm run by Matthijs Bouw. One Architecture uses design and strategic thinking to reduce complexity and to bring people together, in terms of process and engagement, in space and in beautiful environments. One’s work includes: architecture, urbanism, planning and more. One Architecture’s approach has resulted in successful projects which include the much discussed design for Les Halles in Paris (with OMA and XDGA) in 2004, urban plans for Gouda, Deventer and Tbilisi (Georgia) and the realization of Health Center Jozef in Deventer. Matthijs Bouw regularly publishes articles on One Architecture’s practice and ideas. Currently we are working, amongst others, on several health care buildings, a number of urban renewal projects and the Olympic Framework for the Dutch bid on the games in 2028.
