Australian architectural firm - ptw - wins international design competition for beijing olympics.
Ptw’s 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, both of which will rise on the beijing olympic green in a spectacular duality of forms.
