The Digital BuildingPosted by Jeremy Goldkorn, April 1, 2008 8:21 AM
 The Digital Building TooManyTribbles has uploaded another photo series to her blog: The image reproduced here shows the Digital Building. The Digital Building is next to the Water Cube in the Olympic Zone and will house the Olympic media operations in August. The building was designed by architect Zhu Pei (朱锫) of the Beijing-based Studio Pei Zhu. It was inspired by the appearance of a computer chip. Below is a panoramic shot where you can the Linglong Pagoda, National Indoor Hall, and the Water Cube next to the Digital Building.
TooManyTribbles' Flickr page also has a nice set of photos of Olympic stadium construction workers.

Comments on The Digital Building
Last summer,I went to Beijing and i have a good trip.
I visited The Digital Building.At that time it has not been finished.I named it"four pieces of bread"
GOOD LUCK TO BEIJING!
There is a building with a wavy roof on Douban Hutong (behind the CNOOC building on the 2nd ring road) that says something like Olympic Media Center. Does anyone know what that is? I thought it was a bit odd for the media center to be in that area.
