		<description><![CDATA[Sports stadiums have long followed the enduring design of one of the original wonders of the world, Rome&#8217;s Coliseum. National Stadium in Beijing is an attempt to rethink the classic sports-arena layout for more ecologically correct times. The Swiss architects wanted to provide natural ventilation for the 91.000 -seat structure- perhaps the largest &#8220;eco-friendly&#8221; sports [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The design of the new Central Chinese Television (CCTV) headquarters defies the popular conception of a skyscraper &#8211; and it broke Beijing&#8217;s building codes and required approval by a special review panel. Two leaning towers, each bent 90 degrees at the top and bottom to form a continuous loop. Designed by Rem Koolhaas and Ole [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The airport terminal will cover more than 1 million square meters, giving it a bigger footprint than the Pentagon. It&#8217;s designed to handle 43 million passengers a year initially and 55 million by 2015, figures that will probably push the new facility into the ranks of the top 10 busiest airports. The architects also kept [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Rising in the Lujiazhui financial district in Pudong, the Shanghai World Financial Center is a tower among towers. The elegant 101-story skyscraper will be (for a moment, at least) the world&#8217;s tallest. It also will be home to the world&#8217;s highest outdoor observation deck &#8211; a 100th-floor vista that will take vertigo to new heights.

		<description><![CDATA[The &#8220;Water Cube&#8221;, being constructed for the 2008 Olympic Games, is made from panels of a lightweight form of Teflon that transforms the building into an energy-efficient greenhouse-like environment. Solar energy will also be used to heat the swimming pools, which are designed to reuse double-filtered, backwashed pool water that&#8217;s usually dumped as waste.
