Beijing’s Olympic Forest Park was made for the 2008 Olympic Games. It was designed by Hu Jie, director of the Landscape Planning and Design Institute at Tsinghua University and is the largest urban green landscape in Asia and the largest park in Beijing.
It was used as the leisure site for Olympic athletes, coaches, and official staff to get relaxed from tense competitions. The tennis, shooting, and hockey competitions were also held here.
Once again, etched glass is used to convey the spirit of the forest park both over the escalator leading down to the platform...
as well as the glass barriers and sliding doors.
In the station hall of more than 2,000 square metres, 32 1.8-metre-high white columns are cleverly decorated as towering trees, the middle ceiling is intertwined with branches, and the lighting is hidden in irregular diamonds. The roof of the platform is composed of a mesh steel structure, reflecting the Bird's Nest Stadium.
According to Xinhua, the lights in the crevices of the "branches", are like sunlight passing through the forest into the station hall, resembling the sun shining through the forest canopy.
At the exits of the station, the signs labelling the passageways have branches and leaves intertwined around the actual letters.
