Lego bricks, as a modular building system, Lego is a good metaphor for the speed and repetitiveness of much recent construction in China. Columns of a Qing dynasty (1644-1911) temple and tables from the same period

An insight to Ai Weiwei's life, his father Ai Qing's life and the history of China these past one hundred years.
