I have just returned from a trip to Beijing recently.. about a month ago.. my hotel overlooked the Birdsnest... and in all honesty... in the flesh so to speak, the Birdsnest stadium is a real let down... almost bland looking.

Sorry for saying this... it's ugly...
Maybe 100 years later, the world will praise it like today's Eiffel Tower. But for the current time of my life... it's ugly! |

Wow, those photos are well taken! If the Orbit gets a nice lighting effect, it would be even more architecturally interesting

I think if it was silver instead of being red it wouldn't look so untidy to the eyes.

I consider it like a tribute to the glorious industrial past of London!

Kinda fucks up the idea of 360 degree views with those external walkways only going two thirds of the way round.

the orbit will hold the Olympic flame, it will do some mechanical movement and hang closer to the stadium during the lighting ( my thought)
