鸟巢 Bird’s Nest (National Stadium) / 中國北京體育建築之形 Sports architecture forms in Beijing, China / SML.20140502.6D.31732.P1.BW

This highly recognisable building requires no introduction. It is of course the Bird’s Nest in Beijing. Officially known as the National Stadium, it was designed for use throughout the 2008 Summer Olympics and Paralympics.

 

I have wanted to photograph this architecture since its inception, and am happy to finally have seen it. The architecture was designed by Herzog & de Meuron. It is both a visual as well as structural marvel.

 

Photographed with the Canon EOS 6D + Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L USM.
