April 3rd, Matthijs Bouw moderates ‘Dancing With Utopia’ @ Aedes Architekturforum
“Dancing with utopia” is about the day-to-day business of creative industries. In the Netherlands, the notion of creative capital as an important instrument in urban policies and in branding the city is already quite accepted. Berlin, awarded “City of Design” status by UNESCO in 2006, is considered to be an incubator of the creative industries. What does reality look like? Can one regard urbanity as the matrix of creativity? What future and potential will creative industries have – and above all: what utopia are we talking about?

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).
