Abstract
The focus of the 2008 Olympic Games will be the National Stadium, a radical structure that may revolutionise the way society conceives iconic architecture. Swiss architects Herzog & de Meuron talk to AAC about the challenges involved.
(1) The plinth - a mineral hillscape
(2) The stadium - a collective vessel for the 'People's Olympics'
(3) The exterior shell - inflated cushions as a filler
(4) The sliding roof - the lid of the tin
(5) The stands - the variable part of permanence
