Arup has played a major role in helping shape Beijing’s modern landscape. This is evident not only in the stunning sporting structures, but also in the work Arup has done planning Beijing’s road and rail network, in promoting sustainable and energy-efficient practices and in the design of landmark buildings.
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 realization of the CCTV Headquarters.
