摘要
一届向世界展示"科技奥运、绿色奥运、人文奥运"理念的奥运会,催生着既有中国文化内涵,又吸纳现代科技成果的体育场馆。北京城中星罗棋布的奥运场馆,在传统与时尚的完美结合中,带给世人强烈的视觉冲击。在北京城传统中轴线北端,雄伟壮丽的国家体育场"鸟巢"和晶莹剔透的国家游泳中心"水立方"在建设三年多之后。
National Swimming Center and National Stadium are two showpiece venues for the 2008 Olympic Games. A semi-transparent'cube',with'bubbles'spread out all over its surface,is a shape very similar to the structure of'H2O',the outlook for the National Swimming Center at the 2008 Olympic Games.After the games,it will become a recreation water park open to the public. National Stadium,shaped like a bird nest,is jointly designed by Herzog and De Meuron Architekten AG, Switzerland,and China Architecture Design Institute.Many people hail'Bird's Nest'has properly expressed a new architectural vernacular.Such sohemes cannot work out without an understanding of Chinese philosophy and the Chinese idea of good timing,geographical convenience and harmonious human relations.
