The Games of the XXIX Olympiad are the most anticipated event in China’s history!
  • Photo taken on Jan. 28, 2008 shows the exterior view of the National Aquatics Center also known as "Water Cube" in Beijing. The National Aquatic Center was delivered for use on Monday after four years of construction. The Arup/PTW design, known as the 'Water Cube', plays on the geometry of water bubbles in a rectangular form. The structure's shape is specifically designed to work in harmony with the circular main Olympic stadium by the Swiss architectural team of Herzog & de Meuron Architekten with China Architecture Design and Research Group and Arup Sport London.
  • With a capacity of 17,000 seats, the Water Cube will host swimming, diving, synchronized swimming competitions during this summer's Olympics. Its facilities will be tested during the upcoming China Open swimming championships which run from Jan. 31 to Feb. 5.
  • The Water Cube, which adopts an ETFE pneumatic die cushion structure, is the world's largest membrane structure building. The Water Cube's skin, made from ETFE, has been designed to react specifically to lighting and projection. It is also the only Olympic venue that is financed by the Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan compatriots. After the Aug. 8-24 Games, the Water Cube will be refurbished into a multi-function recreation center.
