The article offers an in-depth look to the construction of new architecture in Beijing in relation to the Olympics. The primary focus is on the eye catching design by Swiss architects Herzog & de Meuron, which the Chinese coined "Bird's Nest" and notable mentions on the other structures related to the event, namely the Water Cube/National Aquatics Center and Zhu Pei's three other major Olympic Buildings. The writings raises the notion of Chinese architecture and its prominence on a globalized level. It also talked about the energy-efficiency state of the Bird's Nest, making it a part of a sustainable design which parallel a lot of contemporary work and in it carried on the theme of "Green" Olympics.
The site also published a short video clip on the signature building. The clever use of vox pox interviews injected a personable feel to the architecture. Two ladies in the clip compared the Bird's Nest to a proud emblem of the Chinese.
