The Beijing National Aquatics Center, more commonly referred to as the Water Cube, was one of the main architectural highlights of the Beijing Olympic Games. Both during and after the Olympics, the Water Cube was not only seen as a remarkable architectural feat, but as a venue where a staggering 21 world records were broken. For this reason, preserving the legacy of this iconic site became the top priority of its managers. Extensive reconstruction and improvement work was needed to ensure the building could continue to function as efficiently and smoothly as during its Olympics heyday.
As of August 8th, 2010, the Water Cube has reopened to the public in form of a gigantic indoor water part. Attractions include deep-water cyclones, a Jacuzzi area, wave machines and many more exciting water features. The pools have also been fitted with special year-round water temperature controls, which allow the water’s temperature to readjust according to the seasons.
