“Water Cube” has been transformed into “Ice Cube”.
The National Aquatics Center, also known as the “Water Cube”, was built to host aquatic (水上运动的) events for the Beijing 2008 Summer Olympic Games. Since then, it has become an iconic (标志性的) Olympics structure, known across the world.
Now, the stadium will also host the curling (冰壶) events for the Beijing 2022 Winter Games. So how can we turn the “Water Cube” into the “Ice Cube”?
The most important change is to turn the swimming pool into a four-lane (四道的) curling rink (冰场).The water will be drained (抽干) from the pool. Then, 2,600 H-shaped steel columns will go inside the pool. They will hold up a flat surface. The surface will be covered in a special insulating (隔热的) material. Finally, a sheet (一片) of ice goes on top.
