One Architecture at Architecture Biennale in Rotterdam
One Architecture and FAST present The New Map of Tbilisi at the Architecture Biennale in Rotterdam. This event is being announced on the Abitare website. During the 4th International Architecture Biennale Rotterdam (IABR) dedicated to the theme of the “Open City”- a sustainable city, promoter of social life that can produce wealth and culture - the review “Refuge”, curated by Philip Misselwitz and Can Altay, presented The NewMap of Tbilisi - UrbanCPRme.The project, sponsored by One Architecture and FAST aims to make transparent planning policy, land deals and its effects on the development of the city such that the government and its citizens will be empowered to create a better and sustainable environment in the short and long run.The map brings all spatial and infrastructural projects that are designed or built in Tbilisi: by putting each new development next to the existing urban fabric of Tbilisi, projects overcome their purely autonomous character as they are placed within a collective context.

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).
