When people ask the "BirdNest" stadium designer, did you think about the Chinese culture elements in this design? Designer said: yes, we adopt the pattern from Chinese porcelain, the stadium form like container, can involvement lots of people inside. These are all related to Chinese culture.

By the way, this stadium design by Herzog and De Meuron Architecture AG, Switzerland, and China Architecture Design Institute.

2008 Olympiad wood ring




This year is Beijing Olympic Games, Beijing is my hometown, Chinese people built a lot of new stadiums for this great games. "Birdnest" stadium is my favorite architecture. So I call these two rings-- My 2008.
The inspiration of the ring get from the "Birdnest" stadium. I like the pattern on this architecture. I added new silver layer with the pattern on the normal wood ring.
When I finish these two rings, I found a lot of deficiencies, the pattern is too flat. Due to the whole stadium structure is very three-dimensional. So I still need to improve my design more three-dimensional, to display the graceful of whole architecture.
