Berlin & Beyond - Bird's Nest

Castro Theatre
San Francisco, CA

Popularly known as the Birds Nest, Chinas
National Stadium in Beijing was finished in the
nick of time to host the 2008 Olympics events.
Documentarians Schaub and Schindhelm tell the
multi-tiered story of how the design by Swiss
architects Herzog and de Meuron survived each
grueling phase to completion: the emergence
of a resonant concept through collaboration
with cultural experts, the feasibility of engineering
the worlds largest stadium as budget
battles raged, and the realization of the massive
construction project within the Chinese political
matrix. The breadth of insights expands as
Herzog and de Meuron concurrently design an
urban development for Jinhua near Shanghai.
The architects portfolio includes San Franciscos
De Young Museum.
