An interesting article recently appeared in the New Yorker online, about the relationship of Beijing’s Olympic architecture to the city.

Many students have been studying buildings like the Aquatics Center (known as the Water Cube) and the National Stadium (known as the Bird’s Nest) of late. If you’re looking to learn more and you have a PolyCard, why not search the library’s architecture article databases for one or more of these buildings – quite a lot has been published (you’ll need to log into your portal if off-campus).
