The stadium (BNS) was jointly designed by architects Jacques Herzog and Pierre de Meuron of Herzog & de Meuron, project architect Stefan Marbach, artist Ai Weiwei, and CADG which was led by chief architect Li Xinggang . The stadium was designed for use throughout the 2008 Summer Olympics and Paralympics and will be used again in the 2022 Winter Olympics and Paralympics . The Bird's Nest sometimes has some extra temporary large screens installed at the stands of the stadium . </P> <P> Located at the Olympic Green, the stadium cost US $428 million . The design was awarded to a submission from the Swiss architecture firm Herzog & de Meuron in April 2003 after a bidding process that included 13 final submissions . The design, which originated from the study of Chinese ceramics, implemented steel beams in order to hide supports for the retractable roof; giving the stadium the appearance of a bird's nest . Leading Chinese artist Ai Weiwei was the artistic consultant on the project . The retractable roof was later removed from the design after inspiring the stadium's most recognizable aspect . Ground was broken on 24 December 2003 and the stadium officially opened on 28 June 2008 . A shopping mall and a hotel are planned to be constructed to increase use of the stadium, which has had trouble attracting events, football and otherwise, after the Olympics . </P>
