Helping children learn better through Lego
Wei Wei Gluckman did not get to play with Lego during her childhood years in China. However, following a chance encounter with the brand more than a decade ago, Gluckman is now not just an enthusiast - she's one of the only two Lego Certified Professionals (LCP) on the Chinese mainland. There are only 19 LCPs in the world.
Trained as an architect in a US university and currently working as a curator of architecture-related cultural events, Gluckman said she first learned about Lego when she was curating exhibitions in New York City in 2006.
She recalled that a US magazine had approached her with the idea of organizing exhibitions that would feature Lego installations made by 13 architects that depict issues like Asian financial fluctuations, urbanization and cultural preservation.
