Beijing’s New Olympic Stadium



Now that Euro 2008 has passed, I’m watching the countdown for the Olympics in Beijing. It might start feeling like China-overkill, but should be interesting.

Beijing-Stadium-1

Here’s Beijing’s new Olympic Stadium designed by architects Jacques Herzog and Pierre de Meuron. It can seat 91,000 and it looks like an enormous bird’s nest made of twiglike beams. The architects say their inspirations include “a big pot” and “the Eiffel Tower.”  Hm.
