The Water Cube!

Prepare To Be Astonished- The Water Cube!

Nothing I could say can prepare you for the Water Cube, the venue that will greet swimmers in the 2008 Olympics in China. You have never seen anything like this. Ever. I've watched the film three times and I'm still amazed.

I predict you'll be sending this around!

*sorry if its a repost*

It will cost US$100 million and when finished no doubt will be one of the premier aquatic recreation and sports centers in the world.

[digital_cntax]

anyone know the name of the song used in that clip?

[andy]

its a little strange, but seems cool i guess. does it look like water on the inside too?

[Fedorpheux]

at first i thought it was just a whole cube 100% full of water (like no seats or diving boards or anything).....i was like "hmm, spiffy, but how are you going to use it?" lol, silly me :laugh: :p

[Monkeh]

WOW :woot:

I'm sure you guys saw the olympic stadium beside it (well, one of the designs). Does it mean that the design shown in this video is the final?

I thought the exact same thing. It looks like it could fall apart easy....

[D,Ranged]

Wow that would be worth looking out for.

[SimplyPotatoes]

awww so cute ^.^

[FaRSightxc2]

Well it looks like a good idea....certainly novel!

Lets hope it's not a 'millenium dome'.

[Kriz]

Hot diggity damn, man that looks freaking awesome!

[QuarterSwede]

Quite impressive architecturally. Other than that, it's a huge waste of money for a country like China ... heck, for any country.

[CoolioVendetta]

whoa that loooks pretty amazing, animation very cool too.
