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.
