MEGASTRUCTURES: BEIJING OLYMPIC
STADIUM
Wednesday 30 July @ 10:00 PM HK/SIN
You can't host the Olympics without a world-class facility, and for
2008, China's gearing up to do the honors by building one of the world's
largest enclosed facilities-the Beijing National Stadium. 42,000 tons
of twisted steel, and a stadium to seat 90,000 people-one of the biggest
and most ambitious constructions projects ever attempted in modern
China. Against the backdrop of China's rush to the Olympics, our program
examines the unique features of the "bird's nest" stadium,
following its design, engineering and construction up until the ultimate
test, where we'll find out if this ambitious project comes together
as planned. |
