○ The Bi-City Biennale of Urbanism\Architecture (UABB) is the world’s only biennale dedicated to the themes of urbanism and architecture. 2015 UABB takes over the former Dacheng Flour Factory in Shekou, Shenzhen, features presentations from over 72 exhibitors from six continents who all explore the theme “Re-Living The City”.

○ 2015 UABB is curated by four of the world’s leading architects, critics, and educators: Aaron Betsky, Alfredo Brillembourg, Hubert Klumpner, and Doreen Heng Liu. Renny Ramakers contributes as co-curators of the Biennale. Jason Hilgefort and Merve Bedir are the curators of “Aformal Academy – RE: Learning the City”, a three-month laboratory of collaboratory learning set to investigate and speculate the built future.

○ 2015 UABB explores the reimagining, repurposing, and remaking of our existing urban spaces and architecture. The biennale aims to show ways in which designers can work with people to make the city more useful, just, and sustainable. The biennale is presented in five primary exhibitions: “Collage City 3D”, “Maker Maker”, “Pearl River Delta 2.0”, “Radical Urbanism”, and “Social City”. “Aformal Academy – RE: Learning the City” will be the educational platform for 2015 UABB. Exhibitors from different parts of the world present new and innovative ideas of how we can build upon what already exists to create a more comfortable and efficient urban environment.
