The domestic routes are “marked” by elements of spaced sotillos of slate and bamboo, stone blocks and covered gardens that reflect some of the symbols of Chinese culture. What makes this even more complex project is the fact that the “nest” is not only walls and roof, but also houses the stairs and facade. The entire structure, visible from the outside, mirrors the branches of the nests that working together with each other achieve unimaginable resistance to the elements.Īt the center of the area that also houses other Olympic structures, the stadium seems to be perched like a spaceship, with a quiet majesty whose appeal is given by its slight undulation. The design is based on the nests of birds, not only aesthetically but also at a structural level. The architects have succeeded in translating the concept, so that their work on the project soon gained the nickname “bird’s nest” almost spontaneously among the Chinese population.
The stadium design was inspired by the formation of nesting birds. Located in the Olympic Park, north of the city, the Stadium is only 1.5 km from the Olympic Village and 25 km from the airport in Beijing. The Olympic Stadium in Beijing was the view of the architects “brilliant aesthetic and structural challenges”. The project received a budget of $500 million dollars.
STADIUM DESIGN ARCHITECTS PROFESSIONAL
The Stadium, designed by Swiss Jacques Herzog and Pierre de Meuron in collaboration with ArupSport and China Architecture Design & Research Group, won the international convened in 2002 precisely because the original settlement proposal, inspired by the plot of a nest and made up a myriad of twigs and entanglement, managed to impress a jury which included professional and impressive Koolhaas, Nouvel and Perrault. This magnificent stadium, popularly known as the “bird’s nest” from the tangle of twisted metal pieces that make up its architectural structure, was built with the primary objective of being the main stage of the Olympic games, the opening and closing ceremonies, and some parties in the Olympic Football Tournament at the 2008 Beijing Olympics.
