Organized by Shenzhen and Hong Kong, the Urbanism
\ Architecture Bi-City Biennale (UABB) promotional event will be
held right after the opening
events of the Hong Kong Exhibition at the 13th Venice International
Architecture Biennale (Venice, Italy, August 27th,
2012). Organizer committees from both sides will present the new epoch:
"Common
Title, Common Statement, Common Theme of UABB" and
announce that a Curator is wanted for 2013 UABB*Shenzhen.
The
2013 UABB academic committee proposed a general direction for the theme of
2013: "Urban Boarder," and the chief curator candidates are invited to
develop their unique 2013 biennale theme based on this general
direction.
Notes
on "Urban Boarder"
2013 UABB Academic Committee
The precondition of "Urban Boarder" is the pluralistic value of
cities.
The world's speedy urban development and urbanization
embodied a kind of 'main stream' trend and similarity. However, the
diversity, differentiation and uniqueness of cities is being ignored, or
even perspectives: in the context of sociology, it implies the margin of
urban space, brink groups, and non-mainstream life style; in the context of
political science, it implies the adjustment in the system of organizing
urban public resources and the ways such resources are distributed; in the
context of urban geography, it also refers to the UGB (Urban
Growth Boundary), areas in-between, and the relationship between city and
nature.
2013 UABB will take "Urban Boarder" as its theme, which
would reveal the diverse possibilities of urban culture, urban space, urban
life style and their related issues.
For more information please
refer to Curator
wanted for 2013 UABB*SZ.
The final
deadline for the proposal submission is September 24th,
2012. Academic committee will be held the following week to
review the proposals and vote.
