Beijing National StadiumThe Bird's Nest, or more officially the National Stadium was designed for the 2008 Beijing games by the Swiss architecture firm, Herzog & de Meuron, along with the Chinese architect Li Xinggang. The design was inspired by Chinese ceramics, and the stadium's bowl-like curves and criss-crossing steel beams give the impression of a nest. Provided to the Huffington Post.
