Press Release Gouda Oost
Today, the City of Gouda and the housing corporations involved, have made their support for the ‘essay’ that One Architecture ‘designed’ for Gouda-Oost public.
Gouda-Oost had become an (undeserved) national symbol of dysfunctional new towns. With the strategy proposed by One Architecture, based on a radical break with traditional ideas of transforming post war housing areas, the urban renewal of the area is re-invigorated.

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.
