Beijing National Stadium aka Bird’s Nest is inspired from “crazed” pottery in Chinese culture. The concept of the building was chaos in orderly world conveyed in the porous structure with the collective nature. The height of structure has gone up to the 69.2m with gross floor area of 254,600m2. It contains two structures far from each other at the distance of 50 feet with red concrete sitting arrangement and outer steel frame. The northern and southern stands are lower than eastern and western stands. Those are capable of accommodating 91,000 seats including the 11,000 seats which are used


temporary till the games are on. Those 11,000 seats were removed after the Olympics of 2008 decreased the seats to 80,000. The farthest seat is situated at the distance of 460 feet from the centre point. Each of the counters has optimum temperature and airflow to allow ventilation.
