What is the Water Cube Vixen profile? Comprehensive information about the Water Cube

You can just look at this.

The National Aquatics Center (Water Cube) is located in the Beijing Olympic Park, one of the landmark buildings of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, with a total construction area of about 100,000 square meters. The construction, management and operation of Beijing State-owned Assets Management **** was responsible for the construction, management and operation, which started on December 24, 2003 and was completed in January 2008.

During the 2008 Olympic Games, the National Aquatics Center undertook swimming, diving, synchronized swimming, water polo and other competitions, with a capacity of 17,000 spectator seats, including 6,000 permanent spectator seats, and 11,000 temporary seats (to be removed after the Games) during the Olympic Games. After the competition, it will become a center with international advanced level, integrating swimming, sports, fitness and leisure.

Similar to the Bird's Nest, the Water Cube also uses traditional lightning protection technology. The underground and foundation parts of the water cube are reinforced concrete structures, and the aboveground parts are steel grids, and the steel structures and the steel bars in the reinforced concrete structure are connected by welding, which together form a cubic cage.

Officially known as the "Water Cube" due to its square shape, the National Aquatics Center is located in the Beijing Olympic Park, which is the main swimming pool built by Beijing for the 2008 Summer Olympics and one of the landmark buildings of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. It is designed as a "cube of water" ([h2o]3) scheme that was produced by a global design competition. Construction began on December 24, 2003 and was completed on January 28, 2008.

It and the round National Stadium (commonly known as the Bird's Nest) are located on both sides of the north end of Beijing's central axis, forming a relatively complete image of Beijing's historical and cultural city. The planned construction land of the National Aquatics Center is 62,950 square meters, with a total construction area of 65,000-80,000 square meters, of which the underground part has a construction area of no less than 15,000 square meters, and the length, width and height are 177m, 177m and 30m respectively.

During the 2008 Olympic Games, the National Aquatics Center undertook swimming, diving, synchronized swimming and other competitions, with a capacity of 17,000 spectator seats, including 6,000 permanent spectator seats, and 11,000 temporary seats (dismantled after the Games) during the Olympic Games. After the competition, it will be built into a center with international advanced level, integrating swimming, sports, fitness and leisure.

Bird's Nest: National StadiumThe National Stadium is located in the south of the central area of the Beijing Olympic Park and is the main stadium of the 29th Olympic Games in 2008. The total area of the project is 21 hectares, with a construction area of 258,000 square meters.

There are about 91,000 spectator seats in the venue, of which about 11,000 are temporary seats. The opening and closing ceremonies of the Olympic and Paralympic Games, track and field competitions and football finals will be held. After the Olympic Games, it will become a large-scale professional venue for Beijing citizens to participate in sports activities and enjoy sports entertainment, and become a landmark sports building and Olympic legacy.

The Water Cube started on December 24, 03 and was officially completed and delivered on January 28. Here, the Olympic diving, swimming and synchronized swimming competitions will be held, with a total of 42 gold medals, and this venue may also be the venue where Chinese athletes have won the most gold medals. The China Swimming Open is the first competition after the completion of the Water Cube, and Manager Zhao said that the National Aquatics Center is the only venue built with donations from overseas Chinese, which has deeper political significance than other venues.

The construction area of the entire event of the Water Cube is 80,000 square meters, and the investment is 100 million. Manager Zhao said: "The Water Cube has three major characteristics:

First, the concept from the design is based on the theme of water. This is mainly reflected in three aspects, the first is to reflect the movement of water, and most of the decoration of the entire venue is in blue; The second is the structure of water, the steel structure is unique in the world, called polyhedral space steel frame structure; The third is the form of water, the outer structure of the air pillow mold, which resembles a blister. These three aspects reflect the design concept.

In addition to the unique appearance, Manager Zhao said that in the early stage of the design, it was considered to take into account the use of the competition and the reuse after the Olympic Games. He said: "We have researched a lot of venues in other countries for the Olympic Games, and found that it is very difficult for the Olympic venues to be used after the games, but we believe that the Olympic venues should become an important cultural and sports heritage of a country or a city."

Manager Zhao said: "A lot of analysis was done in the early stage of the design, and the venue was required to meet the requirements of the Olympic Games and be able to be used after the Olympic Games. We've combined the two, like the press conference room where everybody is now, and the underground garage after the Olympics. ”

Those who are familiar with the Water Cube know that the "shell" of the Water Cube glows blue at night. Does this lighting require a lot of electricity to support? How many colors does it make?

Manager Zhao said: "The lighting technology is very advanced technology, using peninsula luminescent materials, which is very energy-efficient and does not consume a lot of electricity. The Water Cube has three basic colors: blue, yellow, and red, and I think it can glow in a variety of colors if we want to. ”

Beijing's"Water Cube":

The outer membrane structure of the "Water Cube" is made of ETFE material, which is light in texture, but the strength is beyond imagination, and it can withstand the rolling of cars after inflation; The ductility of the film is very good, and the fire resistance, heat resistance are obvious. It can be pulled to three to four times its length without breaking, and the ignition point must be above 715 degrees to burn into a hole, but it does not spread, and there is no smoke, and no burning material falls.

This is the world's first fully enclosed stadium with a large area of ETFE.

A breathing "Water Cube".

The roof of the "Water Cube" has a fan for natural exhaust, and there is also an opening in the middle of the two-layer membrane structure, which is equivalent to 8 natural vents, and the air comes in and goes out through the cavity of the roof, so that the heat in the building space is dissipated.

All the air pillows required for the outer membrane structure need to pass three inspections before they can become part of the Water Cube. The first step of inspection is in the processing plant, mainly for material inspection, heat charge inspection and appearance quality inspection of membrane materials. The second step is that the supervision will review the appearance quality of the entire air pillow at the construction site, and only agree to install it after the review is qualified.

The last step is for the supervising engineer to conduct a comprehensive inspection of the appearance quality of the air pillow, fixation, and the room height of the air pillow during the installation process.

Like the "plating point" of the stars

It is not difficult for those who have visited the National Aquatics Center to notice that the "Water Cube" under the sun has many sparkling "glowing" highlights, like stars scattered on the surface of the Water Cube. These highlights are the plating points.

A plating point is a functional plating point. Through the plating point, the membrane structure becomes a filter of light and heat, where what is needed comes in and what is not needed goes back. The plating points change the direction of the light, keeping excess light and heat out of the venue, thus ensuring that the Water Cube does not become a giant "greenhouse" in hot weather.

The "Water Cube" that saves water and electricity

The "Water Cube" roof has 30,000 square meters, and rainwater can be collected by 100 meters. It has a rainwater harvesting system that collects the same amount of rainwater in a year as 100 households use in a year. Membrane structure and other related technologies make full use of natural light energy, and now use natural light for an average of 9 to 9 hours a day, which has a significant power saving effect.

In short,"Water Cube'It is a new building technology that shows the molecular structure of water through its façade, a modern new technology, an engineering technology with related difficulties, and a demonstration of the Science and Technology Olympics.

The biggest feature of the Water Cube.

The Water Cube has two "world firsts": one is the use of polytetrafluoroethylene (ETFE) façade assembly system in the world's largest, most complex and most comprehensive engineering construction; The other is that when the "Water Cube" is completed, it will become the largest swimming pool in the world today.

The National Aquatics Center, also known as the "Water Cube", is located in the Beijing Olympic Park, which is the main swimming pool built by Beijing for the 2008 Summer Olympics and one of the landmark buildings of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. It is designed as a "cube of water" ([h2o]3) scheme that was produced by a global design competition. Construction began on December 24, 2003 and was completed on January 28, 2008.

It and the National Stadium (commonly known as the Bird's Nest) are located on both sides of the north end of Beijing's central axis, forming a relatively complete image of Beijing's historical and cultural city. The planned construction land of the National Aquatics Center is 62,950 square meters, with a total construction area of 65,000-80,000 square meters, of which the underground part has a construction area of no less than 15,000 square meters, and the length, width and height are 177m, 177m and 30m respectively. So far, more than 350,000 compatriots from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan and overseas Chinese from 101 countries and regions have donated a total of 100 million yuan.

Among them, Cheng Yutong, Cheng Kar-shun and their subsidiaries have donated 50 million yuan.

Investment]: about 100 million.

Construction area]: 79,532 square meters.

Number of seats]: 4,000 permanent seats, 2,000 removable seats, and 11,000 temporary seats.

On December 24, 2003, the construction of the National Aquatics Center (Water Cube) and the National Stadium (Bird's Nest) started at the same time. After the construction of the steel-concrete structure and the construction of the outer membrane structure, today the National Aquatics Center has achieved a "panoramic appearance". Today's installation is the last of the 1,437 air pillows, this membrane material made of ETFE (tetrafluoroethylene) is light and strong, and due to its own water repellency, it can use natural rainwater to complete its own cleaning, which is an emerging environmentally friendly material.

Like a "water bubble", the ETFE film has good compression resistance, and the thickness of the ETFE film is only as thick as a piece of paper, and the air pillow composed of the ETF film can even bear the weight of a car.

According to the different positions, the air pillow on the outer layer of the National Aquatics Center is distributed with uneven density plating dots on the outer film, which will effectively shield the sunlight directly into the hall, and play the role of shading and cooling.

With the completion of the outer membrane structure, the installation of the inner air pillow and the interior decoration of the National Aquatics Center will continue, and the entire project is expected to be completed by the end of 2007. From February 1 to 5, 2008, the Water Cube will host its first test event, the China Open Swimming Championships. This was followed by the 16th FINA World Cup Diving Championships from February 19 to 24, 2008.

The synchronized swimming Olympic qualification tournament will also be held here from April 16 to 20.

The biggest design feature of the "Water Cube" is the addition of bubbles and free structures in the building, which makes the extreme introduction of form and the extreme richness of expression more and more complementary, reflecting the fit between oriental thought and modernity. Composed of more than 3,000 air pillows and covering an area of 110,000 square meters, the "Water Cube" membrane structure is the world's largest membrane structure project and the only large-scale public building that is completely enclosed by membrane structure.

Due to the poor acoustic performance of the ETFE membrane material of the outer guardrail and the air pillow, especially when the Olympic Games open in August, it is the rainy season in Beijing, and the sound of raindrops hitting the membrane is likely to affect the athletes' competition. This poses a challenge to the requirements for sound insulation, heat insulation, air conditioning and ventilation.
