Beijing Olympic Buildings

I guess by now you would know which are the 2 most prominent and well-known buildings in the Beijing Olympic Games. That would be the Beijing Olympic Stadium also known as the "Bird's Nest" as well as the "Water Cube" which house the National Swim Centre.

I'm awed by both structures. The design that goes into the Bird's Nest. I wonder if the engineers went crossed eyes with all those beams and columns that weave in and out in all sorts of directions. Also, the Water Cube being able to change colours. Do you know that the changing lights are actually LED lights?

Here are 2 videos to share. One shows the changing lights of the Water Cube and the other shows the day of the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympics. I really wished I was there to see these 2 magnificent buildings!
