Lectures Matthijs Bouw
In the month of October Matthijs Bouw will be lecturing at several locations both in Amsterdam and in the United States:
October 2nd Urban Governance & Liveable Cities (VROM & NIROV) Workshop DRO Amsterdam. This workshop will investigate -amongst others- the atypical case of Tblisi, Georgia, where a radical shift has been made from Moscow-based central planning to free market privatised planning. Undesired side-effects of both overcentralized and hyper-free market models are being magnified in the real-life laboratory case of Tblisi. What do we recognize of that in the governance of our own city regions? Can we distinguish better from good - and how do we get there? Facilitators to include:
· Henk Ovink (Director of National Spatial Planning, VROM)
· Anwar Shah (lead economist and program leader with the Public Sector Governance group at the World Bank Institute, Washington)
· Representatives of the City of Tblisi / Matthijs Bouw
· Maarten Van Poelgeest, Alderman Spatial Planning, Amsterdam

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).
