One Architecture

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).
