  • wonttellya, on 08/01/2008, -1/+1I wonder how much it will cost to build one of those in China vs. US?

    A lot of the top architects are from the West, and you don't see many new "wonderful" architecture in the this side of the world.
  • protodon, on 08/01/2008, -1/+1From the captions I gather that the Olympic National Stadium will also be called Bird's Nest.
  • shutaro, on 08/01/2008, -0/+1Wow... and you can hardly see all people that were killed/maimed/displaced in their construction, too!
