The Bullet – Lost in Beijing (国家大剧院)

hit “L” for a better view!

Hey Flickrinos!
Today I post a shot of the National Centre for the Performing Arts in Beijing, China.

Actually I don’t need to say much, right? The building stands for itself. It’s form is incredible and immediately recognizable.

Still I want you guys to know that the roof is a mixture from glas and titanium! In my opinion it is a great mixture. I really love the lights they placed in the titanium elements. If you use a high aperture number you get these light stars! Amazing!

Sadly I wasn’t able to go in. If anyone has been in there tell me how it looks like.

I hope you have a good start in the new week!
See you around!
