The fifth edition of the Bi-City Biennale of Urbanism/Architecture has opened its doors in Shenzhen. It is being hosted across two different venues: a former glass factory and an old warehouse at the city's industrial port

深圳蛇口工业区似乎不太可能是专门设计双年展的地方。但考虑到这次活动的“城市边界”主题，这个工业港口实际上是完美的-字面上和象征性地-在双城市双年展/建筑(Uabb)举办一场关于全球城市问题的精彩辩论。“城市设计双年展”第五版在两个不同的地点展出：一座位于该市工业港的旧仓库；另一座位于广东浮法玻璃厂的旧仓库，这是一次短途的公共汽车旅行。

他说，我们没什么可做的。“这一切都是为了珍惜它现有的美丽和品质。”

展出的是芬兰建筑部、纽约现代艺术馆、OMA、深圳设计中心和维多利亚的作品。

同时，仓库展览也致力于“跨越城市边界”。策展人李祥宁和杰弗里·约翰逊平衡了国际和当地建筑师、城市学家、社会学家和艺术家的多元视角的折衷但连贯的组合。值得注意的亮点包括Atelier Bow-Wow的电影“东京制造”，讲述了如何创造和使用连贯的城市环境。

圣马丁中心的一个团队正在放映四部名为“液体边界”的电影，这些电影对传统空间制作中的刚性边界提出了质疑。

Het Nieuwe Instituut‘Sander Veenhof的安装“由我们制造”，使用增强现实技术帮助观众与他们的建筑遗产联系起来。通过信息可视化专家Markvandernet，云工厂展示了数据研究如何能够帮助人们在实时数字信息的基础上做出明智的决策。

开幕式周末的亮点无疑是弹出，StudioX深圳生动地介绍了从东京到里约热内卢到中国的城市项目。互动空间，由香港建筑师Marisa Yiu策划，由海的移动钢棒悬挂在天花板网格表，让游客在变换空间的一个实时交流建立一个架构。

A highlight of the opening weekend was POP-UP, Studio-X Shenzhen’s lively presentation of inspiring urban projects from Tokyo, to Rio de Janeiro to China. Courtesy of Studio X Shenzhen

OMA presented a prelude to the Venice Architecture Biennale next year with two extended workshops. The first will translate the 'Yingzao Fashi', a construction manual for how to build a traditional Chinese roof written during the Song Dynasty. The second workshop will explore how the text can be explained in an exhibition and students will execute their designs into products

The renovated factory includes a café for visitors and exhibitors

Elsewhere, the biennale team and participating architects transformed an old warehouse's interior to form a secondary venue for the fair

The Italian Pavilion exhibition, on display at the warehouse, investigates how social and economic change shaped the city of Venice

The Belgian Pavilion exhibition, curated by Iwan Strauven and Marie-Cecile Guyaux, is also on show at the warehouse. Titled 'XX Models: Young Belgian Architecture', it includes NU Architectuuratelier's study of a staircase in a former mining site

The 'Furniture for Public Use' project outside the warehouse entrance, by Rodrigo Escandón Cesarman, José Esparza Chong Cuy, Guillermo González Ceballos and Tania Osorio Harp, rethinks the use of sidewalks. The project allows anyone to transform their sidewalk into an 'active site of social interaction and better quality' turning walking into a civic experience
