Beijing National Stadium is also called the Bird’s Nest. the construction started in March 2003 and the cost was 2.3 billion CNY. The architects are Ai Weiwei, Jacques Herzog, Pierre de Meuron, Li Xinggang, and the style of the architect is called deconstructivism. The stadium can house up to 80,000 people. It was used for the 2008 summer Olympics. Inside A shopping mall hotel are planned to be constructed to bring in revenue after the Olympics. It was one of the largest stadiums I have ever seen. It just baffles me how is it possible to build something so big. To this day I am still wondering how it is built. the amount of steel required to build the thing isn’t a small amount.
