An Atypical Journey of an Industrial Heritage Site in Shenzhen
Doreen Heng LIU
Beginning in the 1980s during the early stages of China's Reform and Opening-up, the journey of the Dacheng Flour Factory unfolds as a significant industrial heritage in Shenzhen's Shekou Industrial Zone. After finishing its initial mission in 2011, it embraced a round of revitalization as the main venue of the Bi-City Biennale of Urbanism\Architecture (UABB) in 2015. Yet, it fell silent as an abandoned site once again, awaiting another round of uncertain renovation. This is an unfinished story of a flour factory, and also an allegory of the city in the ever-evolving urban regeneration. Perspectives from diverse angles - urban planner, site owner, biennale organizer, architect - converge to provoke reflection, with images capturing each pivotal stage of its journey.
