Construction work continues at Beijing's National Stadium, in Beijing, China Wednesday July 11, 2007. The so-called 'Bird's Nest' - the 91,000-seat National Stadium - and the 'Watercube' - the National Aquatics Center - are at the center of next year's Beijing Olympics, located several hundred meters across from each other at the heart of the sprawling Olympic Green area. The two buildings and the innovative National Indoor Stadium form a triangle of bold architecture that embodies the Beijing Olympics - unlike anything that's come before.
