I’m no expert on architecture, but I certainly know a beautiful structure when I see one. Case in point: Beijing National Stadium aka ‘The Bird’s Nest’. Designed by Swiss architects Herzog & de Meuron, this 91,00 seat stadium wrapped within a network of twisted steel tracks, will serve as the centerpiece of this year’s Olympics in Beijing. You can peep some interior shots of the structure, along with an article on its design here.
