With an exhaustive description about the Watercube
by CCDI, PTW Architects, and ARUP there is a detailed study of the
project, supported on a detailed processing of the information received
(graphics, images, drawings) we look for a better presentation of the
project, starting with the competition, making a complete overview
about the design process and the concept, and finally explaining the
building structure through the construction and the sustainable
premises that make the Watercube such a spectacular building. In words
of Chris Bosse, one of the architects of the design team this book
would be The best and most profound publication of the Watercube ever.

For the content we have succeeded in obtain the valuable
collaboration of some experts that make most complete the overview
about the building: Professor Denis Wearie, who is the author of the
Weaire- Phelan Theory –the basis of the structure design-. Architect
Matteo Cainer (Assistant director at the Venice Biennale 2004, where
the Watercube won the Atmosphere Award) had written a text about the
importance of the building in the context of the Biennale, the biggest
architecture exhibition. For The Site chapter we have a contribution of
Neville Mars architect that works in Beijing and recently published the
book THE CHINESE DREAM and runs the Dinamic City Foundation. We had the
assistance of Angus MacLeod from Vector Foiltec, the company that is
working to make the building cladding with ETFE to talk about the skin
of the Watercube. Also, we have text and images from a British
photojournalist, Gemma Thorpe, based and working in Beijing at the
momento of the construction, talking about social responsibility and
the construction workers.
