100 million ceramic sunflower seeds

At the Tate. Each hand painted (in China) as an art piece by Ai Weiwei. 5 million may have done it? Saved several villages a lot of hard work.

Chris the blind architect


“The interesting riddle for me, then, is: if you take sight out of the equation, what makes for good architecture?” Chris Downey, who finds blindness simply a new credential in the making of architecture.
