PTW National Swimming Centre2008 OlympicsBeijing, China国家游泳馆北京，中国 PTW won the international design competition to create the National Swimming Centre for the 2008 Beijing Olympics in late 2003.2003年末，PTW赢得了为举办2008北京奥运会而建立的国家游泳中心设计竞赛。The design, known as the “Watercube”, plays on the geometry of water bubbles, fantastically crystallised as a massive rectangular form. The structure’s elemental shape is specifically designed to work in harmony with the circular main stadium, designed by Herzog and de Meuron, both of which will rise on the Beijing Olympic Green in a spectacular duality of forms. The facility will be used prior and post games as a multi-purpose leisure and elite swimming centre.这个设计，被称作“水立方”，由许多水泡沫的几何形体组成，看上去像是一个巨大厚重的立方体。为了与旁边的主体育馆（Herzog与Meuron设计）协调，结构的基本元素被特别设计。这两个体育馆都将为北京奥林匹克公园增添光彩。“水立方”将被用作一个多功能的休闲与高级体育中心。“Our “Watercube” concept is a simple and concise square form that ultimately uses the water bubble theory to create the structure and building cladding, and which makes the design so unique.It appears random and playful like a natural system, yet is mathematically very rigourous and repetitious. The transparency of water, with the mystery of the bubble system, engages those both inside and out of the structure to consider their own experiences with water.Andrew FrostDirector, PTW. “我们的‘水立方’概念是一个简单、简洁的正方形；最终我们运用了水泡沫理论来创建结构形式以及建造，这样使得这个设计非常之独特。它看起来像一个自然的体系般随意并且有趣，但实际上它犹如数学体系般严谨并且乏味。水的透明性、泡沫体系的神秘感，构成了人们对于水的独特经验。Andrew FrostPTW主管 The building’s skin, made from an innovative and lightweight transparent “teflon”, abbreviated as ETFE, has been designed to react specifically to lighting and projection – and particularly the advanced systems which will become available in the coming four years – to create a stunning visual and sensory experience that will also be shared by millions of television viewers around the world. This state-of-the-art material provides a cost effective cladding solution for modern architecture..这个建筑的表皮，由一种革
