Who designed the Beijing National Indoor Stadium?
I'm doing an art project on modern architecture and I would really like to use this building. However, I cannot find who designed it and when construction was started/finished. I've tried Wikipedia, but I came up with nothing, and the Beijing Olympics site tells me nothing either.
