| Emerging from the landscape, and shaped by
nature, the design will create a simple symbolic link - a bridge - between old
and new, between people and country and China with the world.

The design creates an image of a floating water
lilly, surrounded by petals and blossoms, emerging in a gently undulating pond.
The stand installations are built for fixed as well as temporary seating with
optimal viewing positions. After its dismantling, a very unique leisure park
will be developed.

The transparency of the roof petals allow for the shading of the grandstands
while providing for superior natural light and weather permitting allow the
stadium to be opened for natural ventilation. The roof is a series of light free
flowing forms that flow over the stadium to form a series of petals that can
open and close to suit a large variety of conditions. The roof is made of the
Teflon coated fiberglass, which allows the natural turf to grow for a superior
athletic field surface.

| The Olympic Stadium, 79,574 fixed seats are
installed on the stand, of which ordinary seats are 72,930 with 500mm width of
seats and 850mm depth of rows. If it is needed, temporary stands with 20,740
seats could be added in both the south and the north stands.

| The 100,000-seat stadium has been conceived as a
two tiered solution with exclusive areas incorporated within. All tiered seats
have an unobstructed view of athletics. Lowering the field reduces the amount of
¡�finish skin¡� on the facility, the vertical scale of the
facility, and the height of vertical transportation, easier access to the roads
around the stadium.

| One of the most unique features of the design is
the Sky Terrace. The ability to climb to very top of the roof will provide an
experience to the visitor unlike that of any other stadium on Earth.

| This Stadium total would comprise 80,000
permanent seats and 20,000 temporary seats, including one level of 140 suites.
The 20,000 temporary seats are removed it is proposed to install the seats in
the outdoor activity center and some special suites, restaurants, clubs and bars
in the locations which are higher up in the stadium.

| The configuration of the stadium symbolizes
great nature on the earth. Against the backdrop of sunshiny sky, soft white
cloud and green hills are the main originality, along with light pillar that
penetrates through white cloud creating nice association. All of these
constitute a charming landscape and become a new scene in Beijing tallying with
the substance that coexistence of Olympic Game and nature.

The National Stadium should be the one that a
surrounding feeling is available when someone stays inside of the stadium, he
feels that he is surrounded by the environment outside of the stadium. Vice
versa, when he stays outside of the stadium he could also feel such a state of
competition with excitement and vigor inside of the stadium. Thus, a well
arranged space functioning from each other is created.
The adoption of different resources of energy will secure the natural light
collection and the air ventilation as well as a reliable and efficient method
for the site management.

|
| This proposal is intended to meet these
objectives using the symbols of "Heaven" and "Earth". Our roof is not just a cover for the terraces of the stadium, but the celestial
vault of the Universe. This vault incorporates five circles that, at the same
time, symbolise the five elements on which Chinese philosophy is based, and the
five Olympic rings.

|
|
| The stadium's appearance is pure
structure. Fasade and structure are identical. The structural elements mutually
support each other and converge into a grid-like formation �C almost like a
bird's nest with its interwoven twigs. The spatial effect of the stadium is
novel and radical and yet simple and of an almost archaic immediacy, thus
creating a unique historical landmark for the Olympics 2008.

|
| The design concept is retrieved from an ancient
ritual named "throwing jade into the water", which gives the Stadium
rich cultural connotation and turns the place into a spiritual home of people
living in a modern city.

|
| The Stadium is the Architecture as the eaves,
and it protects as many as a hundred thousand people in the periphery from the
rains, cold wind of winter, and hot sunshine of summer. The Stadium is the
symbol of the attitude greeting all the people.
