Beijing, China - Iconic Structures

Beijing National Stadium
Olympic Green
Seats 91,000 spectators (80,000 permanent, 11,000 temporary), the Beijing National Stadium is the centerpiece of the upcoming Summer Olympics. Designed by Pritzker Prize winning architects of Herzog & de Meuron, and constructed mainly from large steel beams contorted into an unique form. Liken to a bird’s nest, Herzog & de Meuron wanted to express the doctrine of the Olympics Spirit - the difference in cultures and nationalities coming together for one cause.
北京國家奧運體育館
擁 有91,000觀眾席次(80,000個為常設座位,11,000則為彈性開放)的北京國家奧運體育館(Beijing National Olympic Green),是今年北京奧運的中心。由普立茲建築獎(Pritzker Prize)得主Herzog 及 de Meuron所設計。主要的結構是利用大型的鋼樑,交織成特殊的形狀。Herzog 及 de Meuron則說靈感來自於鳥巢,張顯奧運包含萬象,不分文化、民族的精神象徵。
