  • Arup: Building the Water Cube
    9-410-054 REV: JUNE 3, 2010 ROBERT G. ECCLES AMY C. EDMONDSON DILYANA KARADZHOVA Arup: Building the Water Cube The Water Cube, as we know it today, is a result of architects and engineers working side by side. Without this collaboration, the Bubble Box would not have been possible. ―Mark Butler, former Associate Director and Senior Design Architect at PTW Architects Landing at Heathrow Airport on June 7, 2009, Arup Principal and Senior Structural Engineer Tristram Carfrae pondered the upcoming dinner for which he had flown over 12,000 miles. Accompanied by four other members of Arup’s Sydney office, Carfrae was in London to attend the Royal Academy of Engineering Awards Dinner where the winner of the 40th annual MacRobert Award was going to be announced. First presented in 1969, the Award was given in recognition of successful development of innovative ideas in engineering and was considered one of the most prestigious awards in the field. The Beijing National Aquatics Center, widely known as the Water Cube, had been one of the four finalists for the award. Engineering firm Arup had designed the Water Cube in partnership with the architecture firm PTW Architects, based in Sydney, and China Construction Design Institute (CCDI). An aquatics center that looked like a box of bubbles, the Water Cube had already won a number of prestigious awards (see Exhibit 1). Its monumental presence in modern Beijing was due to the way in which it reflected Chinese traditions while using natural resources efficiently. Its design goals included environmental, social, and economic sustainability. The structure set new landmarks in the fields of engineering and architecture and challenged conventional thinking that higher quality required larger investments and longer time to design and build.

Localised sustainable Next-Gen infrastructure and services are growing from within communities, creating a new class of consumer—the prosumer: where customers are more than consumers but also producers.

Despite its nickname, the building is not an actual cube, but a cuboid (a rectangular box). Ground was broken on December 24, 2003, and the Center was completed and handed over for use on January 28, 2008.[2] Swimmers at the Water Cube broke 25 world records during the 2008 Olympics.[3] After the Olympics, the building underwent a 200 million Yuan revamp to turn the half of its interior into a water park.[4] The building officially re-opened on August 8, 2010.[5] 8 Architecture The National Aquatics Center at night In July 2003, the Water Cube design was chosen from 10 proposals in an international architectural competition for the aquatic center project.[6] The Water Cube was specially designed and built by a consortium made up of PTW Architects (an Australian architecture firm)[7], Arup international engineering group, CSCEC (China State Construction Engineering Corporation), and CCDI (China Construction Design International) of Shanghai.[8] The Water Cube's design was initiated by a team effort: the Chinese partners felt a square was more symbolic to Chinese culture and its relationship to the Bird's Nest stadium, while the Sydney based partners came up with the idea of covering the 'cube' with bubbles, symbolising water.
