The new China Central Television headquarters building is seen in Beijing Thursday July 17, 2008. The building consists of two angled towers connected at the top to form a continuous loop of horizontal and vertical sections. The spectacular 230 meter (755 foot) building, one of Beijing's tallest, will house more than 10,000 staff. The building is one of a series of landmarks, notable for their futuristic design, that will greet visitors to the Olympics Games, which open Aug. 8.

In this April 18, 2008 file photo, two Olympic venues, the National Aquatics Center, also known as the Water Cube, left, and the National Olympic Stadium, also known as the Bird's Nest, at right, are seen in Beijing.

Cleaners stand in water as they scrub the outside of the National Grand Theatre which has been nicknamed the "egg", in Beijing July 11, 2008.

^^^nice pictures. beijing olympic is going to be awesome!

Saw them in some architecture books before, simply unique, great design.

There's a good article in the August "Vanity Fair" about all the amazing new buildings in China.

The architecture is simply unique . makes beijing stand out.

Architecture from other countries for a price..not National. China buys rather than create. The same goes for just about everything about the Beijing Olympics/ for example the opening ceremony is not their creation. AKA Speilberg & Stone...let's be realistic foks. You will find a lot of European Archticts involved..

duh same thing can be said about America, the US buys rather than create, 'made in america' is just a rubber stamp for american leaders to claim credit, the truth is those who are behind big projects were immigrants from all over the place, Europe, Asia, you name it, they were not born and educated in america. typically hollywood movie hires UK firm to work on special effect, HK producers put project in place. foreign actors are hired for global marketing.

many foreign(ie chinese) talents work in engineer and science project for Boeing and Lockheed martin. you don't hear that in the news. all you see is "made in America" rubber stamp.

Go Beijing Olympic go

thought I should educate you and take a little steam from your ego. Not Chinese

It was a mistake the few that got to work in the USA. Most are spies and are being sent back. The same for Canada too! Their talent is way overrated BTW.

they have been stealing secrets and intellectual property

so go ahead and say "Go Beijing" away!
