The world's most ambitious projects
They're big and bizarre and bold and... buildings
(not space ships, despite appearances)

這是泰晤士報的原文，實際上是用戲謔的口吻在評論每一棟所選出的建築物
我覺得新民報的標題比較妙『全球最強悍工程』
以下是對於北京鳥巢的段落，最好是"handsome"可以翻成「美！」
（北京機場那一段也沒什麼好話）
2008 OLYMPIC STADIUM, BEIJING
Herzog & De Meuron
If anyone knows about the ability of a command economy rolling in money
and cheap labour to achieve the architecturally impossible, it's Herzog &
De Meuron.
Even as you read this, an army is slaving day, night and every second in
between so that the viewers at home will have something pretty to look at
in the background while the runners are limbering up at the Olympics
next year.
Vital statistics 330 metres (1,083ft) long, 220 metres wide, 69.2 metres
tall, 250,000 square metres in area, 100,000 capacity. All well and good,
but havethey got as many lavatories as Wembley?
Beauty or beast - Let's agree on “handsome”.
Will it change the face of architecture?
Herzog & De Meuron are test-driving countless technological advances
through it, all to realise their dreams of an architecture whose facade
and structure are one.
The wow factor - Well, the Lea Valley's got a job on its hands.
