Solutions For
a
Modern City
Solutions for a Modern City: Arup in Beijing takes a close look at Arup’s collaborative involvement in some of the key venues for the 2008 Olympics: the National Stadium known as the “Bird’s Nest”; the National Aquatics Centre known as the “Water Cube” and the National Convention Centre/Fencing Hall. The book also features an in-depth look at other iconic projects including China Central Television (CCTV) Headquarters; China World Trade Centre Phase 3; Beijing South Station and the Beijing Capital International Airport Terminal 3. All projects featured are designed by teams of world-class architects and engineers, such as that forged between OMA and Arup in the design and realisation of the CCTV Headquarters.
