"Building Asia Brick by Brick Teach Through Play" is a series of public interactive programs designed to encourage children to explore ideas about design and develop an urban awareness.
During the Shenzhen Biennale, "Building Asia Brick by Brick Teach Through Play" will invite Shenzhen youngsters and architects to first build an oversized Map of China. The subsequent construction of cities on this map is based on the French salon game of “Rotating Corpse,” where a group of players collectively assemble a story or image. Here, each collaborator adds to the composition without being allowed to see the previous contribution. Each team of architects and children will contribute a section to an imaginary city that represents both diverse aesthetic sensibilities and principals of community. The final product is both a vision of China and the act of modeling the inter-generational teamwork necessary to create tomorrow's community.

一砖一瓦建亚洲是一项儿童公共互动教育项目，此项目曾参与大声展，先后在广州、上海和北京展出。在深圳将邀请深圳青少年儿童和建筑师、艺术家共同用LEGO玩具搭建大型中国地图。此授课方法来源于法国沙龙游戏，游戏规则是：从第一位参与者开始搭建，每位参与者按照顺序分别在上一位参与者完成部分的基础上继续搭建模型，直至完工。我们将请每组建筑师和其所带领的参与者搭建地图模型的一部分，最后将所有局部拼接成一个完整的“中国地图模型”。其深意不言而喻：大厦筑于一砖一瓦，祖国基于一山一水。
