Olympic Beijing 2008 water cube

[Zebrone7]

it's allianz arena??? XD

[Gnaw321]

this is so freakin awesome

[happyhobobyronlam]

i like allianz arena more to be honest

[nonickleft4me]

@happyhobobyronlam me too, but allianz arena is a soccer stadium, not a giant fishbowl

[iniestaforlife]

So many poor Chinese people built this, and they didn't get much money...

[heavenly908]

the watercube now holds performances and i suppose you are able to swim during periods of times i think. there was an amazing performance called the water ballet, of swan lake.

[aysedmania]

so lovely..

[sk84urlife18]

haha i luv it when someone says at 0:07 "its so ugly" in chinese XD

are they keeping it there for other swimming events?

[chinagansta]

@sk84urlife18 lol i like the conversations too

[kennethyeah]

wow! amazing!

[iizzYAn]

the bird nest and the water cube, amazing architects GO CHINA!

[nottypanda1]

Hey retard - Many architectural projects come out of design firms around the world. Chrysler isn't owned by Americans, nor is Lambourghini owned by Italians. So whatever these companies build are the result of someone else's money. Conversely, if someone paid for someone else's idea, what's the difference?

[waigx]

beautiful！

[sk84urlife18]

i went to the water cube. it looks way better at night and in real life. i got soo many pictures there.

[BornInTheUSA911]

"watercube" should be new words in the dictionary ...like "bootylicious" n "google". When something is cool, it's "Man ! That is so watercube" . :) These 2 pieces of architecture is AMAZING beyond description . I am impressed to the core.

[ILUVKELSY]

DUDES China put in so much effort to make this olympics special just so they wont have any comments like this have you seen how much they put in to try and ge t beijing clean and they are almost done so quit being such bitchs about it so what if they are too good that means that we can do any thing the westurn civilization can do

[echolee11]

beijing's air is not so bad,the western media always like to exaggerate,and you guys just wanna believe whatever the TV said

[ILUVKELSY]

you are so right

[lowincash]

very true...there was this runner from africa that said he won't attend the olympics because of the "bad air" but he ended up going and he was interviewed and said the air isn't as bad as he'd expected. yes, the western media exaggerates everthing and make things worst than it is.

[kangtaer]

totally agree!!!!!

[scq1969]

it is good to know u :)

[cokesoccer19]

ha do u notice how everyones coughing? bejin's air sucks

[sk84urlife18]

screw u. beijing is trying their best to improve there air conditions and its been working excellently so far. i just got back this morning from china and the air has improved soo much. and uve probably never even been to beijing for the olympics so how can u even say that.

[lowincash]

hey moron i live in los angeles...i cough a lot too...does it mean we have bad air here? does that mean los angeles sucks? do you actually think before you speak?

[ireneyan23]

amazing

[tankedline]

how do they light up all those sheets?

[Langosta83]

lol I love how the first guy said, "it's so ugly."

[fordrmani]

cool

[MST3Kwatcher]

That was so dang cool! I could sit here and watch it all night. Thanks for sharing this.

[JORDANLOH727]

so nice!!!!

[Serge107]

Wow!! China ROCKS!!!!!!

[motorider750]

No cabe duda que Pinches Chinos son cabrones !!!!

[melovetorun]

shutup!

[ponywonka]

totally amazing

[msvoight06]

Phelps going for the record 8 in just a few in this beautiful building, wish I could find a wallpaper of this.

[drain12]

I would hate to be the guy who have to replace those lights when it goes out.

[johnqwerty101]

astig tonh water cube. pero puro polusyon idadala nito

[larger20]

I wonder how much energy is being utilized in this gigantic environment. china will be paying a lot to maintain this....and its not good for the environment!

[yipdog]

dumass, its doin the exact opposite

[larger20]

Pot head, So where is the energy needed to run this come from? Solar? wind? or from your anus?

[melovetorun]

shut up!

[larger20]

Melove, shut and love it in your ass!

[melovetorun]

The watercube is where Phelps broke his world record 8!It's sacred!How dare you say it's bad for the environment?

[larger20]

Phelps is my rare hero. Melovetorun is my rare fool! Because only a rare fool like you will not understand. Even regular fools that buy fuels for their cars know that energy cost is sky rocketing.....Carbon Energy = Fuel Energy = Bad for environment. Heat Energy = Bad for environment. Go get your BA degree in energy or engineering before you argue with me...I have one and I know so...

[stain48]

lol.

u is funny stupid american.

=D

[8088ee]

awesome! amusement parks,landmarks,theatres,futur­e (smart) homes,hotels,and casinos will soon adapt this and give us an incredible visual future. Wow!

[gibbersome]

Meh, I suppose us Americans will be happy enough with our freedoms and rights. The water cube is a pretty cool structure though.

[xXShakenXx]

amazing architecture, also, i would bet all my money that the U.S. or Canada for that matter will reconstruct buildings such as this one all over their country, probably skyscrappers too. fucking unoriginal Americans... Go China!!!

[bamed10]

Well, we won't have to look to hard for parts considering the 440000 LEDs that make the displays possible are made in North Carolina.

[Angryxbot]

Everythings made in China nowadays, dumbass. Including LEDs.

Nice try but fail again. The Birds nest and the Watercube are ICONIC buildings and architectural wonders. Only China can build buildings like that.

Beijing 2008 set the standard so high, all other Olympics from now on will be judged by the Beijing 2008 standard. How you like that huh.

[buddyjoelle]

You're the dumbass for not realizing all the blueprints and plans for the birds nest and the watercube was not by Chinese people.

Do your fucking research before calling someone a "dumbass", dumbass.

Everything may be made in China, but to them it's about quantity not quality. lol.

[buddyjoelle]

Replying to Angryxbot, btw.

[mattmatt115]

@xXShakenXx UMMM this design probably CAME from a Canadian or American firm, or at least had their input! LOL

[asian4life30000]

dats tight

[RCT3Dave]

Thank you for the time and effort to record for posterity something we'll never see on TV - a Decent Cycle that you can really wonder at. Congrats to all. I especially like the total lack of advertising. The air may not be clear but the minds are.

[Caroline82891]

[tttTibcsi]

Fantastic building! The Bird's Nest is wonderful but the opening of the olympics of Peking was the most beautiful show I've ever seen! All people worked hard so thank you Peking! Greetings from Hungary!

[myunclesnephew]

It hasn't been called Peking for 30 years, dude.

[tttTibcsi]

I'm sorry, Beijing. Is it correct? In Hungarian it is Peking at the moment as well.

[kyuuwang]
