The year 2007 looks as if it’s going to be more about circuses than bread.

While
Lord Foster’s over-budget and unfashionably late Wembley Stadium
reaches completion and Londoners begin to worry about paying for the
2012 Olympics, the costs of which are rising as fast as the city’s
absurd property prices, Beijing will be completing its astonishing new
stadium a year early. Here the Swiss architects Herzog de Meuron,
currently also working on the expansion of the world’s most popular art
gallery, London’s Tate Modern, have designed an intriguingly complex
structure in the form of a vermicelli ball that has become known as
“the bird’s nest”. It is the closest architecture has come to Cy
Twombly and I look forward to seeing it.
