Inside Herzog & de Meuron Bird’s Nest
01
Sep 2008
We´ve seen tons of pictures of both the exterior and the inner court of Herzog & de Meuron’s bird nest in Beijing during the Olympics. But what we haven’t seen is the intermediate space inside the nest fibers, a space which looked amazing on the early renderings.
But thanks to Edgar Gonzalez, we can see the colorful inners of the Bird’s Nest through Manuel Ocaña’s Flickr.
Pictures after the break.

that our great beijing
wow! this is amazing!
the interior is really fantastic.
Having a totalitarian regime as a client makes for good Architecture… No varying end user groups to placate, and no conflicting “opinions” on design. Let’s just hope this project’s legacy and contribution to Architecture will be a positive one. Onlt time will tell…
hetog a de mero fantaiatstat neve sean. gret.
Very interesting statement Kristoff. I agree.
More polluted than i thought it would be.
A singularly superlative masterwork.
Compare this with London’s ‘design by committee, ruined by bureaucracy’ Olympic architecture.
Well done HdeM and well done China.
Five MOOS.
it can be only realized in a duo conditions of both globalization and highly concentrated political power. Beijing is treating whole world while giving a promise for further improved politically, economically and environmentally. It welcomes international observation and help.
Se ve bastante mas colorido de lo que me imaginaba, además debe sentirse muy bien caminar entre esas estructuras
Buenas fotos!
that external pic…
It’s a chinese soldiers cap?@!!!*!…
Now that’s contextualism, or theme park?
ye…But Beijing Olympic spend China 100Billian dollor…
That is our great China
Hello David,
Beautiful pictures but
do you now that Herzog
the ideas and everything
of the stadium has stolen
from a Dutchman.
So everything is fake what
they are saying.
Sincerely
Patrick
Patrick:
Can you explain a little more what your saying?
It would be interesting to see what that “Dutchman” has to show.
I never thought about this before, but I wonder how the outside structure of the bird’s nest was made.
