My favorite building that we saw in the presentation was the Beijing National Stadium, also known as the Bird's Nest. After seeing it on TV for so many months during the Olympics, I think this building has made a huge impact on the world's view of China. The "nest" theme of the building suggests not only that China is a nation ready to take flight, but also draws its inspiration from nature - this coming from a country that is trying to move in a more ecologically sound direction as it continues to grow at an unbelievable rate. I think it is architecture that is meant to reflect good intentions, which is the best kind.
