The National Aquatics Center, dubbed the Water cube because
of its futuristic, artful architecture, has a seating capacity
of 17,000, including 11,000temporary seats. The design of Water
cube makes it resemble a giant box of blue bubbles floating
in space. But its beauty is more than skin-deep and more than
simply aesthetically
pleasing. Its advanced design will employ solar energy to adjust
the temperature of the swimming pool, among other high-tech
advances and innovations
