B.A.R.C: genetic city
'genetic city' exhibition at the dutch culture centre
as the closing exhibition of this year's shanghai world expo, 'genetic city' is a collective
installation of ten international architecture studios and their take on how to build
new sustainable city. presented at the dutch culture centre and organized by neville mars
and dynamic city foundation, the urban expansion plan of caofeidian ecocity in
china is proposed in a relay set up, adding 100,000 people on top of the previous plan
every two years. participating teams, which include MAD, MVRDV and URBANUS,
have been assigned a three year period between now and 2040 to design their part
of the evolutionary masterplanning. the expansion plan aims to cultivate the city
organically while exploring the process of time-based greening.
the installation consists of a 46 meter long continuous video panorama suspended
in the middle of the room. the looped video illustrates the organic growth of the new
chinese city from year 2010 to 2040. caofeidian ecocity, which is one of the nation's
most ambitious projects located in a 50 billion dollar industrial zone, is expected to
rapidly exceed a population of 1 million in the coming years.

the dynamic city foundation's iniative to plan and conceive a sustainable and long-term
vision for caofeidian.
