The most complete overview of the Watercube project, the National Swimming Centre for the 2008 Olympic Games in Peking, constructed by CCDI, PTW Architects and ARUP. This is a detailed study of the project, beginning with a brief description of the diverse changes that China, Bejing especially, has been experiencing over the past decade, and the population and construction boom which have made these types of building projects possible. Featuring detailed graphic information, interviews with people related with the construction process and a technical section illustrated with blue plans. The book also considers the construction process and the sustainable premises that have made the Watercube a spectacular building.
"The best and most profound publication of the Watercube project!" Chris Bosse, Watercube architect.
