Together with Ole Bouman, Tom Verebes co-organised and moderated the AAVS Shenzhen Symposium 2018. Within the context of China’s unrelenting urbanization, the residual, peripheral, vanishing and often contaminated status of Rural China was the theme of AAVS Shenzhen. This symposium is hosted at and partnered with the newly launched Design Society in Shenzhen, the pre-eminent design institution in Shenzhen, designed by Fumihiko Maki, and curated by Ole Bouman. In a format which brings together these diverse architects, urbanists, educators, writers and curators, two sessions of brief visual presentations will follow with the AAVS Shanghai team moderating panel discussions with the presenters.
