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.

UABB 2015 Catalogue Aaron Betsky, Alfredo Brillembourg, Hubert Klumpner, Doreen Heng Liu This richly illustrated book presents the exhibits and curatorial visions of the 2015 Shenzhen Biennale of Architecture and Urbanism (UABB), organized around the theme, Re-Living the City. It highlights the contributions of dozens of international architects, designers and artists, and offers 12 probing, original essays. The projects and essays of UABB 2015, Re-Living the City, criticize the status quo of architecture and urbanism, but they also resist the false dream of designing a perfect city from scratch. Instead, they portray the city as the incremental product of its inhabitants and designers, who provisionally make and remake its fabric through various means at their disposal. Urbanization in the world’s fastest growing regions today has a dual character: officially-sanctioned, large-scale development shadowed by unregulated or ‘informal’ spaces built by disenfranchised migrants. UABB 2015 operates between these poles, seeking alternative paradigms to generate a
