Among the various designs submitted, Pritzker Prize-winning architects Herzog & de Meuron won the competition. The stadium, colloquially called the Bird’s Nest, held the opening ceremony on August 8. It is also the site of the track and field events, the soccer finals, and will hold the closing ceremony on August 24.<br /><br />john tiong chunghoo<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/travel-haiku-china-s-bird-s-nest/
