is a film scheduled for release this summer, about Herzog & de Meuron's work on the national stadium for the Olympic summer games in Peking 2008 and a city area in the provincial town of Jinhua, China. Watch the trailer
the trailer has a "lighter" tone associated with the building...almost like the adventures of 2 heroic swiss architects in china...i hope that it goes a bit into the difficulties of creating a project of such intricacy in a place like China
on a lighter note, jaques herzog reminds me more and more of Michael Stipe (r.e.m.)

Well. City is a too big word for the design of an architectural park on the riverbank of Jinhua.
Read here the review on the opening of the Jinhua Architecture Park, October 20, 2007.

ps. the second image is great!
Just love this design - and China's historical willingness to embrace bold architecture, ever since the Great Wall.
