Its internationally best-known projects are the National Alpine Skiing Center and the National Sliding Center in Yangqing, both competition sites of the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, the collaboration with Herzog \u0026amp; de Meuron on the Bird's Nest Olympic stadium in Beijing, as well as museums, campus buildings, and renovations of historic structures in China.\u003c\/p\u003e          \u003cp\u003eLi Xinggang's architectural thinking draws from intensive engagement with China's historic architecture, gardens, urban, and landscape spaces. The vulnerability of the built-in relation to nature, as well as the spatial power of traditional urban structures, form the background for a position that understands architecture as protective, structuring, and emotionally influential.\u003c\/p\u003e          \u003cp\u003e            \u003cem\u003eVital Architecture \u003c\/em\u003e                    introduces 23 of the firm's realized projects through photographs, plans, drawings, and concise texts.
