Designed by Australia's PTW Architects, engineering firm Arup, and China State Construction Design International, the so-called Water Cube has a structural system unlike any other building. No wonder -- it's based on an age-old physics problem related to bubbles. See Wired's Photo Essay

It's *not* a Herzog project.
It was designed by PTW Architects of Australia.
oh wait, you said that ... what's H & M, then?
Woops,
My mistake,
Any Editor please fix..
Typo
It looks as good as the renderings!
bubbles!!!! it looks like the panels in the LA prada store at a bigger and more functional scale. Great project.
i think that i actually like it... which i didn't expect to...
however, isn't it really just a space frame... maybe a wonky space frame but still a space frame...
Yeah,
Not much of a building? In terms of program....
Is that what you mean, Architphil
Trinity College Dublin - Guinness is always good for inspiration.
