Introduction: The most embarrassing copycat "Bird's Nest", which cost 200 million and is called a chicken nest. Experts: Aesthetic issues

For the 2008 Olympic Games, Beijing built a new building in the current Olympic Park The famous "Bird's Nest" was built in the south of the central area. The official name of the Bird's Nest is "National Stadium". Construction started in 2003 and was completed in 2008. It took 5 years and cost more than 2.2 billion. It has a construction area of ??more than 250,000 square meters and more than 90,000 seats. It looks like a Huge and huge bird's nest. Today's Bird's Nest is a major tourist attraction in Beijing, and it is also a concert venue that many singers dream of holding.

The shape of Beijing’s Bird’s Nest is deeply loved by everyone, and it can be called one of China’s classic buildings. It is not surprising that famous and classic buildings are usually imitated by others. For example, Shijiazhuang City’s replica of Egypt’s famous Sphinx, Huaxi Village’s replica of the Arc de Triomphe and Sydney Opera House, Fuqing City’s replica of the Eiffel Tower, etc. Not to mention, although these imitation cottage buildings are not very creative, they have brought some benefits to the local tourism industry.

Therefore, it is very "normal" that the Beijing Bird's Nest will be imitated, copied, or used as a reference. Some foreign friends were inspired by the Bird's Nest in Beijing and built a guest room like a bird's nest out of tree branches. The nightly fee was quite high. There are countless copycat Bird's Nests in China, such as the "Bird's Nest" Cultural Center in Pu County, Shanxi, the International Sports Center in Nanchang, and the Bird's Nest Restaurant built among the green mountains and green waters of Zhangzhou, Fujian, etc.

For those buildings that resemble Beijing's Bird's Nest, most tourists smile knowingly, but there is a replica of the Bird's Nest that has been criticized by many people. This "unpleasant" building is located in Binhu New District, Hefei City, Anhui Province. It was designed by a design company in Shenzhen, Guangdong. Construction started in early 2009. The cost is about one-tenth of the Beijing Bird's Nest, and the area is about 14,000 square meters. However, it took more than a year longer than the Beijing Bird's Nest.

The Hefei version of the bird's nest is made up of a pile of long and short poles. It does look a bit like a bird's nest in nature, but more people say it looks like a chicken coop. It is criticized for being useless and even outright ugly. A new realm. However, architectural experts believe that it is normal for architectural aesthetics to be controversial. The implication is that this Hefei version of the Bird's Nest is actually not as bad as everyone says. It's just a question of whether you know how to appreciate it or not. Well, you are an expert and you have a point.

This Hefei version of the Bird's Nest has an ill-fated fate. When construction first started, it was named "Hefei International Science and Technology Innovation Exhibition Hall." It was originally expected to be completed in 2010, but as a result, the construction encountered technical difficulties and water seepage and other problems could not be solved. It has been delayed and delayed, and even stopped for several years and almost became an unfinished project. Finally, it was finally opened in October 2015. However, in the past few years of construction, the building has changed its name several times. First, it was renamed from "Hefei International Science and Technology Innovation Exhibition Hall" to "Hefei Art Museum", intending to be used as an art museum.

However, due to the inability to solve the water seepage problem and other quality problems, and because most people were unable to appreciate this "beauty", the museum was unwilling to accept the goods (later they found another place to rebuild it. art museum). The museum was unwilling to take it, so the name of the Hefei Bird's Nest was changed from "Hefei Art Museum" to "Hefei Mass Cultural Activity Center". Friends who travel to Hefei can go visit and see if their aesthetic standards are up to standard.

Dear readers, can you appreciate this Hefei version of the Bird's Nest?
