I see the Beijing National Stadium as an architectural project. I accepted Herzog and De Meuron's invitation to collaborate on the design and our proposal won the competition. From beginning to end I stayed with the project. I am committed to fostering relationships between a city and its architecture.
I wouldn't change anything. I think that it's important to let things happen and stay 'happened'. I think that's all part of the learning curve part of fate. I'm just glad that it happened.
