Old/New kids of China

The country is made by people. Its works are what they leave. In case of China the fate of people and great architectonical achievements are inseparably connected. In my project I show the constructions of the Middle Kingdom from the oldest, to the newest ones and I compare their evolution with the development and life of the representatives of the chinese society of different ages.
