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

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.
