Results presented of the uDUTCHnaya seminar.
One Architecture participated in the uDUTCHnaya festival in Moscow. On December 6th the results of the uDUTCHnaya seminar were presented at the Center of Contemporary Architecture (C:CA) in Moscow, at -5 degrees Celsius indoor (the institute’s buidling is currnently being refurbished). In the seminar a group of Russian architects worked together with Dutch architects (Bart Aptroot - One Architecture, Wout Smits, Remair von Meding - KAW, Ton Schaap - DRO Amsterdam) on a strategy for using a concentration of art istitutes near the Kursk station as a catalyst for an urban renewal process. The proposal recognized the spatial potential of the former industrial sites which in some cases resembled medieval Italian town squares, added new programmatic elements in the form of modest towers and proposed improved connections with surrouding neighbourhoods. A translation of the presentation from Russian to English is still in progress.

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).
