Those incredible chinese architects...
Got this site from a friend. Here in Portugal, we're setting up for the Euro '04, and everyone is getting new stadiums (well, the major clubs that is), marvelous works of modern architectural design and engineering.
Then there are the chinese designs... I want to weep.

More amazing than this is, they will use bamboo scafolding to build whichever stadium wins. While we, in the civilized world use pre-made metal tubing, they still go with bamboo.

01 reminds me of labia too much, but all around this is some beautiful architecture.

For I dipt into the future, far as human eye could see,
Saw the Vision of the world, and all the wonder that would be;
Saw the heavens fill with commerce, argosies of magic sails,
Pilots of the purple twilight dropping down with costly bales;
Heard the heavens fill with shouting, and there rain'd a ghastly dew
From the nations' airy navies grappling in the central blue;
Saw the Vision of the world, and all the wonder that would be;
Saw the heavens fill with commerce, argosies of magic sails,
Pilots of the purple twilight dropping down with costly bales;
Heard the heavens fill with shouting, and there rain'd a ghastly dew

I think we can assume that the SCAFOLDING will be removed after the construction is completedKrauserKrauser wrote:That and bamboo burns really well, so if they ever need to get rid of the building all they have to do is set it aflame and sweep away the remainder.

B01 looks like a twat. I'll be waiting for one of China's rockets to fail and accidentally plow through the center nose-first.
If Religion and Politics were characters on a soap opera, Religion would be the one that goes insane with jealousy over Politics' intimate relationship with Reality, and secretly murder Politics in the night, skin the corpse, and run around its apartment wearing the skin like a cape shouting "My votes now!
