I was at the Water Cube last April and there were some issues about its ventilation during the SS Qualifying Event.Water was too cold... air was too hot... there was indeed a flow of air within the whole complex but at that moment, still there was a complete hall to be finished.

I want one!

Congratulations to the eco-architects, artists, structural and materials engineers, manufacturers, construction workers, geologists, and so many more for their farsighted designs,materials, and accomplishments in Beijing. What a wonderful green achievement and example for the entire world. All is seen by billions of people the world over now and will be for years, a monument for green design, for centuries to come. The international competition for designs brought west and east together brilliantly. This reflects great political and international cooperation.Thank you to the Olympics, China and the International Community. At the same time, gratitude and condolences to the individuals who lost their ancient alleyways and homes at the sites of the Olympic stadiums. Now: on to cleaning up the air!

I love the design and look of the water cube. I keep telling my family if I ever could get a 3D water cube on a smaller scale, and the top opened and I could like put water in the pool so I could have my very own water cube, I would. Also, I love that it is so earth friendly because of global Warming.

So treehuggers what do you say? I think it's stunning and i was going to mention it's glaring light pollution issue (being a giant glowing cube and all) but i think that point is irrelevant in a city with so much air pollution that it's population have most likely never seen the stars. Oh and I hear that it was built on top of a secret prison where the government tortures imprisoned dissidents. Just saying...

I wonder how sustainable it is building new buildings every two years for the Olympics. Even if this is "sustainably constructed" if you step back and look at the larger picture - really it would make more sustainable sense to use the same facilities where possible for several seasons before building new ones.
