The 1,900-plus exponents include artworks and sculptures to beautify public
places, involving municipal administration, service and transport.
Visitors can find such skillfully-designed projects as the telephone booth,
bus stand and public chair.
The exponents are the results of a campaign launched in November last year to
call for the designs. The organizers, including the Beijing Planning Commission
and Beijing Organizing Committee for the Games of the XXIX Olympiad (BOCOG)
Culture and Ceremonies Department, have collected a total of 5,000
contributions.
These artworks provide for ample resources to beautify the Olympic Green and
other Olympic competition venues as well as ordinary public places in the city,
said Yu Huayun, an official with the campaign office.
The exhibition at the Beijing Planning Exhibition Hall opens free-of-charge
until July 9. Visitors are encouraged to cast their votes for the favorite
schemes and put forward their proposals on the suitable place for each of them.
Students like Olympic-Ring design.
