Wah, also interested in Olympics hah....the buildings look a bit 'unreal' to me...too sophisticated..and too canggih! but they should have spent billion yuan for that! You going to the olympics or not? :-D
the illustration look a little bit unreal but trust the architect whom designed the building... they are making it happen... BTW, if you happened to drop by Shanghai... you will know what i mean... :-> Way better than boleh-land.
The buildings looks great, however, shall not speculate, but we will know whether it lives up to its expection come 08082008 :)
the whole world will see eh!... If it does lives up to its expectation it is a breakthru on architecture.
The Discovery did show how the architect design and what is the expected outcome. And how the contractor build too.
it's just 193 days to go now..
let's countdown together at http://080808.com.my
