Beijing Water Cube

The National Aquatics Center, also known as the "Water Cube," is located in the Beijing Olympic Park. It was built as the main swimming venue for the 2008 Summer Olympics and is one of the iconic buildings of the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games. Its design, the "Water Cube" ([H2O]3) scheme, was selected through a global design competition. Construction began on December 24, 2003, and was completed on January 28, 2008. Located on either side of the northern end of Beijing's central axis, it and the National Stadium (commonly known as the Bird's Nest) together form a relatively complete image of Beijing's historical and cultural city.
