Similarities between Bird's Nest Water Cube and Beijing Traditional Architecture
"Water Cube" embodies the femininity of more women. Together with the circular National Stadium, the Plaza Swimming Center embodies the concept that "the sky is a round place". At the same time, the square has a very important position in China tradition. Beijing is a square grid city pattern. All the houses, the Forbidden City and the quadrangles are square. Therefore, designing the "Water Cube" into a square also reflects the traditional architectural model of China ... The "Bird's Nest" is the main stadium of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. The design of the giant stadium, which was completed by Plic Prize winners Herzog and De Mellon in cooperation with China architects on 200 1, looks like a "bird's nest" that breeds life, more like a cradle, and bears the hope of mankind for the future. There will be a red glass wall inside the Bird's Nest, and it will be red at night. Red stands for China Red.
