Modern Beijing

With the development of modernization and the mushrooming of a cluster of high-rise buildings, are changing the look of old Beijing. There are many new architecture in Beijing which are completely foreign, such as the egg-shaped National Grand Theatre designed by Paul Andreu, the geometric interlocking buildings of the CCTV (China Central Television) Headquarters by Rem Koolhaas and Ole Scheeren and the Beijing National Stadium (aka the Bird's Nest) by Herzog & de Meuron.
