Building a daring artpiece like that you get the problems you deserve and pay for.

Form over function doesn’t weather well.

We were in Beijing in Feb and drove by some of the Olympic structures. The Bird's Nest (stadium)is designed by the same guy who designed the terminal at Charles De Gaulle where the roof caved in. After the cave-in the Chinese decided not to put the roof on the stadium and leave it open air.

We were at De Gaulle last month. The signs said construction work to serve you better. I think keeping the roof up would be good service. LOL!
