National Stadium

　　Highlights
　　Located within the Olympic Park, it has a total construction area of 80,900 square meters and can accommodate 18,000 people. During the Olympics, it primarily hosted artistic gymnastics, trampoline, and handball competitions. After the Olympics, the National Stadium, as a top-tier sports facility in Beijing, has become a multi-functional civic activity center offering various services.

　　Introduction The National Stadium is situated in the southern part of the central area of the Olympic Park, neighboring the “Bird’s Nest,” the “Water Cube,” and the China National Convention Center. Due to the different spatial height requirements of competition venues, the National Stadium draws inspiration from China’s “folding fan” and features a wave-like design that slopes from south to north, giving the roof a light and dynamic appearance. This wavy form also connects ingeniously with the flat-roofed “Water Cube” to the south and the single-curved-surface China National Convention Center to the north, achieving a harmonious and unified urban landscape within the Olympic Park. The steel roof truss of the National Stadium spans 144 meters from north to south and 114 meters from east to west. The entire roof truss structure consists of 14 trusses, using a total of 2,800 tons of steel. With its fan-shaped, wavy curve, it is currently the largest bidirectional cable-stayed steel roof truss structure system in China in terms of spatial span.
