Beijing Olympic park

The Beijing Olympic park includes some modern architectural designs, such as the "Bird's nest" (National stadium) and the Watercube (National Aquatic stadium). Today the park is still fenced off since the park hasn't finished its final construction. I could only take a picture from the outside the fence.

Nonetheless, I was still marveled by the creativity and engineering of the Bird's nest. Every single stripe is bent in the exact right angle to form a smooth structure.

The Watercube doesn't look as fancy as the Bird's nest, but according to Beijing's official guide book, the ceilings of the building uses solar energy to adjust the pool temperature. Unfortunately I couldn't get a close shot of the Watercube.
