This Beijing Olympic Village replica was created by the Hong Kong LEGO Users Group in under 100 hours. These photos are a few days old but I only just came across them. Seems like an appropriate time to display an amazing model of such a breathtaking Olympic Village.

Anyone who saw the opening ceremony to Beijing 08 will be aware of how much attention China is putting into the beautiful details of these Games. The Birds Nest Stadium is one of my favourite stadium designs ever, and at night it becomes even more stunning with the most powerful and colourful lighting to transform it into a glowing ball of intertwining steel frames.
