Berend Strik, Thixotropy
One Architecture and Berend Strik are working together currently in the St. Jozef project and have worked together on multiple projects in the past. The most substantial STRIK PUBLICATION to date will be released on June 13, 2009: ‘Berend Strik, Thixotropy. Transfixed, Stitched Photographs’. Matthijs Bouw wrote one of the articles for this book. The work of Berend Strik is situated in a twilight zone in terms of discipline. The basis consists of photos, either found or taken by Strik, which have been modified with threads, gauze and other materials. The starting point of Thixotropy are the embroidered photos, as a point of entry for grasping the meanings of the entire oeuvre. Texts by others and by Berend Strik himself analyse and interpret a range of different perspectives, aspects and strategies. Matthijs Bouw is one of the authors of Thixotropy. Other authors: Sophie Berrebi, Laurie Cluitmans, Antje von Graevenitz, Laura van Grinsven, Gertrud Sandqvist, Berend Strik.

One Architecture is an Amsterdam based architecture and planning firm run by Matthijs Bouw. One Architecture wants to engage in the full complexity of today’s society. Architecture can be much more than building icons or making nice facades. It is deeply rooted in (local) culture and creates culture. Architecture can change organizations. It can help clients generate money. It can even have a political impact. One Architecture’s work integrates design and process. 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 and urban plans for Deventer, Gouda, Eindhoven and Tbilisi (Georgia).
