I choose to make a Diorama about Beijing,China ridding its city of Hutongs to make room for the Olympics. (Hutongs are lanes with traditional Beijing courtyard homes.) More importantly, I made this diorama to show that hundreds of Beijing locals were displaced. Their homes bulldozed... leaving them with no where to go.
Using spaghetti noodle boxes and a yogurt cup I made a few buildings and " The Nest" stadium. I also crumbled cookies across the streets and grass to resemble the ruble from the Hutongs.
