5. Water Cube
Not far from the Bird's Nest, there is the National Aquatics Center, also known as Water Cube. Its creative design concept is originated from the arrangement pattern of cells and natural structure of soap bubbles. The huge square box was produced by combining modern technologies with traditional Chinese culture.

The square Water Cube together with the round Bird's Nest, embody and interpret this idea very well.
