29. Beijing National Stadium, China
Dubbed “the Bird’s Nest’, this extraordinary 91,000 seat complex was built for the 2008 Olympic Games. As well as being thought to be the largest enclosed space in the world, it is also the largest steel structure, comprising 26 kilometers of unwrapped steel, including that which is twisted and webbed from its roof. Incorporating elements from Chinese art and culture, these ‘bird nest’ elements were actually inspired by traditional Chinese crazed pottery.
30. The Reichstag Dome, Berlin, Germany
After the fall of East Germany, architect Sir Norman Foster was commissioned to reimagine the 19th century Reichstag building to reflect its new purpose as the home of a unified German Parliament – and to symbolize its complete break from a past tainted by Nazism. The result is a futuristic, light-filled, double-helix, with the dome open to the public and allowing visitors sweeping views of the Berlin cityscape and skyline.
