CONSTRUCTION of the NATIONAL STADIUM of BEIJING for the 2008 OLYMPICS XUEFEI REN Michigan State University
ARCHITECTURE AND NATION BUILDING IN THE AGE OF GLOBALIZATION: CONSTRUCTION OF THE NATIONAL STADIUM OF BEIJING FOR THE 2008 OLYMPICS XUEFEI REN Michigan State University ABSTRACT: This study examines the relationship between architecture and nation building in the age of globalization, with an analysis of the debates and controversies about the National Stadium, the main sports venue for the 2008 Olympics in Beijing. The article argues that nationalism, along with the cultural ideology of global consumerism, drives the production of flagship architectural projects in China. The dilemma between nationalism and global consumerism has led state politicians and bureaucrats to opt for a global architectural language to narrate national ambitions. The study reveals the rationale underlying the search for global architecture among political elites in China, as well as its mixed consequences for local cultural discourses and politics. On July 30, 2004, in the Olympic Park in north Beijing, the construction site of the National Stadium was unusually quiet. Huge machines were lying on the ground. Workers had been ordered on a two-month-long vacation. The construction of the National Stadium, which started seven months earlier in December 2003, was suddenly stopped by order of the central government. The direct cause for stopping the construction was a petition submitted to the central government by a group of academicians from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the most distinguished academic establishment in physical sciences and architecture. In the letter, the academicians criticized the stadium design for its “extravagance, huge costs, wasteful use of steel, engineering difficulty and potential safety problems.”1 The central government responded to the petition by ordering a financial review of the project. -
The Beijing Olympic Games and the Olympic Volunteering Chapter 3
Chapter 3 The Beijing Olympic Games and the Olympic Volunteering Chapter 3 The Beijing Olympic Games and the Olympic Volunteering 69 Section I Glory and Dream At 10:08 P.M. on July 13th, 2001, Mr. Samaranch, the former President of the International Olympic Committee, announced in Moscow that the sponsoring city of the 29th Olympiad would be Beijing. At the moment in China excitement rippled through the Olympic conference room in Beijing, into the city, and throughout the entire nation. Modern China, a product of 5,000 years of civilization and history, with her spirit of hard work and perseverance, finally shook hands with the Olympic Games on this day, fulfilling the great dream of the Chinese people. I. Olympic Dream of the Ancient Oriental Country The development of friendship between China an the Olympics has been rocky. At the beginning of the 20th Century, Chinese people began dreaming of their participation in the Olympic Games. First they learned of the existence of the Olympics, then they worked hard to know more about them, and finally they are fully participating in the Games. It has been a long road for China, but the day is coming soon when this dream will be fully realized. 1. Start of the Dream — First Contact with the Olympics It is said that in 1894 the Court of Qing Dynasty received invitations from the royal family of Greece and from Pierre Coubertin (the founding father of modern Olym- pic Movement) who represented the International Olympic Committee (IOC). However, the Qing Court at that time had no real understanding of the significance of the Games, so they did not reply.
