Features: Olympic officials and builders, landscape designers, teachers and students engaged in related professional fields, and the general public concerned about the Olympic construction. The Beijing Olympic Park is located at the northern end of the city's central axis and is the core area for hosting the 2008 Olympic Games. The Forest Park is planned and constructed as a green ecological zone, serving as part of a barrier between the urban area and the peripheral districts to improve the city's environment and climate, providing entertainment and rest for the general public. It will be developed into a beautiful public activity center with cultural sophistication, meeting the requirements of the Olympic Games, suitable for post-Olympic operations, and environmentally friendly.
In the tender for the design of the Olympic Forest Park and the central area landscape, the organizing committee conducted a rigorous selection and evaluation of hundreds of design units from different countries and regions worldwide, ultimately selecting eight design companies to participate in the final design. To preserve this historical record, this book provides a comprehensive and detailed introduction to the design competition for the Olympic Forest Park and the central area landscape. It excerpts key documents from the competition and showcases the outstanding designs of all submitted proposals to the readers.
