Like many memorable buildings, the Aquatics Center began as a philosophical notion—a notion that, in this case, benefited from the international bent of the consortium. The Chinese contributed the idea of the cube, which is central to Chinese culture and symbology; and the Australians came up with the notion of cladding the entire building in "bubbles," the two concepts acting in concert to envision a building that, with the help of 1000s of strategically placed LEDs, would resemble an enormous cube of uncontained water, miraculously stilled smack in the center of Beijing.
