National Stadium
The National Stadium (Bird's Nest) is located in Beijing Olympic Park. Located in the southern part of the central district, it served as the main stadium for the 2008 Beijing Olympics and covers an area of 20.4 hectares. Currently, the venue boasts a floor area of 258,000 square meters and can accommodate up to 91,000 spectators. It hosted the opening and closing ceremonies of both the Olympic Games and the Paralympic Games, as well as track and field events and the football final. Since the Olympics, it has become a premier, large-scale facility in Beijing, offering residents ample opportunities to engage in sports activities and enjoy sports-related entertainment. Today, it stands as an iconic sports landmark and a cherished legacy of the Olympic Games.
The stadium is being constructed by Beijing Urban Construction Group. Resembling a "nest" and cradle that nurtures life, the stadium embodies humanity's hopes for the future. The designers chose to leave the structure entirely exposed, without any superfluous embellishments, allowing the natural form of the building to emerge organically.
Construction began on December 24, 2003, and was completed in March 2008, with a total cost of 2.267 billion yuan. As a landmark national structure and the main stadium for the 2008 Olympic Games, the National Stadium boasts highly distinctive structural features. The stadium is classified as a Class-A sports building—a large-scale sports venue—whose main structural design has a service life of 100 years. It also meets the highest fire-resistance standards (Grade 1), is designed to withstand seismic activity up to intensity 8 on the Richter scale, and features Grade 1 waterproofing for its underground components.
In April 2014, China's Top 10 Contemporary Architecture Review Committee selected 20 buildings from over 1,000 landmark structures across the country, based on four key criteria: age, scale, artistic merit, and cultural impact. From these 20 finalists, the committee ultimately chose the Top 10 Contemporary Buildings. Beijing’s iconic National Stadium, commonly known as the "Bird’s Nest," was among the initial group of buildings shortlisted for consideration.
