The Architectural Design for Beijing Shooting Range and Laoshan Cycling Velodrome for the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games

Background
Beijing is engaging in its first ever Olympic Games to be held in 2008, and the preparations for construction of sports venues ---the most important part of the preparatory work---is in full swing. State General Administration of Sports of P.R. China is responsible for the construction and management of Beijing Shooting Range and Laoshan Cycling Velodrome, the main venues for the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. The Sports Administration then organized the International Competition of the Architectural Design for Beijing Shooting Range and Laoshan Cycling Velodrome, and received 11 design works from world top design companies from China, Australia, Germany, Japan and Spain.

Introduction
After the competition, State General Administration of Sports of P.R. China compiled The Architectural Design for Beijing Shooting Range and Laoshan Cycling Velodrome for the 2008 Olympic Games to keep records of the valuable work and effort put into this significant event. The book is a gallery of the 11 design concepts with multi-dimensional pictures and detailed explanations both in Chinese and English. It introduces world leading design works and the most recent techniques for sports construction from professional and artistic perspectives, and offers top level scope for professional designers and people interested in sports building design and construction. These design works are original and exquisitely worked out, reflecting the latest sports construction concepts in the world while not omitting the major elements of Chinese culture. The new technologies and materials applied to these design works fully interpret the major ideas of the 2008 Beijing Olympiad---science& technology, nature, and human culture. The designers were fully aware of the functional utility of the sports venues for and after the Olympic Games, and gave thorough consideration to the environmental implications and energy efficiency, representing the highest level of sports architectural design in the world.
