Have you seen this? How cool is that!! From what I've read, the National Aquatics Center in Beijing is not only incredibly cool looking, it's also environmentally prudent. The bubbles are made of an extremely light material, reducing the need for steel in the frame. It's much less expensive than glass. Plus, it's probably easier to keep cool. The roof can collect rainwater and pool water and the venue can save 140,000 tons of recycled water every year.
Check it out from the inside:
I hope NBC spends some time describing the building in between races. What is it, three weeks until the Olympics?
