Cine Megawra | Herzog & De Meuron’s Bird’s Nest

Building between two cultures, two architectural traditions and two political systems, the documentary shows two very different building projects in China by the Basel-based star architects Herzog and deMeuron: The National Stadium for 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing and an entire district in the town of Jinhua. One is tailored to China’s international appearance; the other caters for the daily needs of the population.

The documentary, directed by Schaub and Schindelm in 2008, lasts for 88 minutes and will be followed by a discussion.

Event is open for all.
