2008 Beijing

every postwar olympic stadium : 2008 Beijing

(votes: +81)

The 2008 Olympics will no doubt be the subject of many hand wringing articles Western newspapers as people gaze on Beijings spanking new super modern stadia, railways and airport. Of these, new marvels, the Beijing Olympic stadium, designed by trendy Swiss Architects, Herzog & de Meuron is the most original and interesting. The style may be imitated and may date, but of the stadium as ‘object’ style (as compared with Mexico’s landscaped form or Munich’s organic, pavilion style, this is the best yet. London should look at a re-design of their proposal, because it pales in comparison.

It’s to vote for the building design, not politics

FREAKING MORONS

Not sure about the radical design, but it may grow on me.

And for all you morons from the USA going on about politics. Sure Tibet’s had a rough time but don’t forget about what all the shit the USA as caused meddling in the middle east. If the Olympics was in the USA this time round they would be getting just as much grief over their politics

To everyone who’s not Chinese or Tibetian- Mind your own business. You have no credibility whatsoever for getting involved in China and Tibet’s politics. Most of you who do support Tibet don’t even have a legitimate reason. Your silly, meaningless lives have compelled you to become nosy and get involved in other people’s affairs.

Get a life, people. Seriously. You’re all just being silly and inconsiderate.

to those who wants to link politics to this sport event, I think you are all idiots. If you guys really hates China, please throw away all the chinese products you have. You guys who blaming china, I thought you should take off your underwear since the maybe made in China. You are not worth me to put the F word on you.

Free Iraq….. Free Hawaii….Free Guam….. Free American Indians…. Let them to get their human right….. Look at what Americans have to do first.

If you disregard all the politics surrounding the olympics, ignore all the stupid comments in this thread…basically just forget everything else and look at this building by itself, its a masterpiece. Ive been to Beijing and Ive seen it. Its more stunning than you can sum up in words, and as a piece of engineering…its nuts.

That being said, its too bad that China will be China…now if only it was built somewhere nicer than Beijing…

Chinese people are rude.
Their government spends millions to educate them NOT to spit in front of Olympic visitors.
They have no concern or respect for the environment.
They cut your lunch salad on the pavement of the back street of the restaurant.
They are extremely racist and have a very high opinion of themselves
Why money corrupts them and has them turn their back on 4000 years of brilliant civilization is beyond me.
No-one wants those cash junkies and corrupt minds who try to rip you off even for five cents. That’s right!
Please rewind history and serve us the real Chinese People with traditions and self respects.
Their stadium looks like the next cage for political prisonners
Literally underdogs.
I have no respect for people like that.

u guys don’t even give a fuck about tibet ,u wholely education of this topic is just came from the Dalai’s magazine or CNN’s goddamn “authentic” news every 7:00pm of the day.
I mean..why u doing this ?u don’t know exactly the people in China,u don’t even seen the community in here before .and also u don’t even get single toe to the province of tibet in ur boring life
in 14th of March ,those “demonstrate men”were killed almost hundreds of innocent at the fucking main street in LARHSA.and after 2hours that motherfucker spoke to the earth that our goverments gave a shit to his sheep citizens?!
god knows that
and all you guys who try to mess up with chinese,I could ensure u will be shutup in one day .someday ,u know ,I could ensure that.
because ,u might be right ,:…our goverments need to serve the chinese people with self respects.bla.bla.bla..yeah yeah ,we know that,we got our own problem.but ,what u care about?need a fucking job in our politics?
Just don’t forget one thing ,for hundred years,u guys was did the same thing such as what u do now in Iraq in our motherland ,u rob our wealth ,raped our women ,and u call us “doggy fucking chinaman”….tell u what ,we ll also never forget ,we were “fucking chinaman ” once!
and the prograss of all the chinese in the world is ganna never stopped.cause our history could make us always hurt.
once in our life ,it stays ,and also it’s enough.
So ,eat ur fucking hurberger and stay quiet ,ok?that will be nicer.
By the way,how great stadium !cherry up!man!
