Beijing is swimming green
The new Olympic Aquatics Center is Beijing is touting some fantastic green design and one stunning look. Nicknamed the "Water Cube", the rectangular steel frame is covered by a membrane of brightly lit blue bubbles which reduce energy costs by 30%. The material absorbs solar radiation and reduces thermal loss. The humidity and air-conditioning systems are also more eco-friendly. With the 2008 Olympics coming this summer I can't wait to see the water events in this cool, blue, (green) building.
