About a half-kilometer from the Watercube sits the “Bird’s Nest,” Herzog & de Meuron’s sinewy Olympics stadium. The project is one of contrasts, combining a muscular skeleton of entwined steel with soft ETFE cushions. The ETFE pillows will fill the spaces between the nest’s twigs, helping to weatherproof the structure.
