These three buildings are offically "dead". They are directly adjacent to the Beijing 2008 National Swimming Centre (the iconic "Water Cube"). The government doesn't know what to do about these ugly skeletons, so close to the centre of the world's attention in two years time. Construction on these eyesores stopped several years ago, due to financial problems. It's a pity. Some people say they should be wrapped for Games-time.
