The Unknow Cities
2019
UABB - Bi-City Biennale of Urbanism\Architecture (Shenzhen)
Creators: Yan WU(Sci-Fi), Yu CHEN(Curator), Yufan XIE(Designer)
The project is series of 3d-printing based on fiction “9 City, Millions of Future” by Yan Wu. The fiction discribed a process of returning territory from city to nature, transitting the earth to a planet of nature. After several fascinating and upset seasons, we finally find a proper way of “returning” and ways to compress, transmit and expanding cities on new planets.
In our story, when the ending of earth – Crystal Season starts, artifacts of human era begin to shrink, fade and crystalize, and we human will also fade away. But this process is a new birth, instead of death – which creates new realtionship between human and nature, and new forms of city and architecture in new space.
