Introduction of the National Stadium
The Beijing National Stadium, also known as the "Bird's nest" for
its architecture, is a stadium under construction on the Olympic
Green in Beijing.
The twig-like structural elements and the bowl-shaped roof are the
masterpiece of the project, yet they pose great challenges for
technicians and workers to make the building stand on its own
feet.
The stadium is scheduled for completion in March, 2008. It will
host the main track and field competitions for the 2008 Summer
Olympics, as well as the opening and closing ceremonies. It is
located right next to the Beijing National Aquatics Center.
