Come and learn about the Beijing Water Cube on the eve of the Olympics from the man behind the design! Tristram Carfrae believes the Water Cube is a "representation of a mathematical idea" and it is as if the pool complex is "carved into an infinite geometric pattern".

The Water Cube can accomodate up to 17000 spectators, reduces sound and blocks UV radiation. The building is also energy efficient, as the walls and roof allow in light and heat to reduce power consumption.

A networking opportunity will follow the talk, with Tristram and other Arup representatives attending. Food and drink is provided.
