This is the modification of the Olympic swimming pool in Beijing. Firstly, its absolutely crazy! I love the giant jelly fish suspended from the ceiling. It's very playful, and Chinese people tend to like things like this, such as the world famous brand Hello Kitty, and this makes me think of that type of product. This is such a good idea to reinvent a very iconic space, so that it doesn't have the seriousness of the Olympics, but still keeps the importance, but adds a playful touch.
Below is a photo of the exterior of the pool. The lighting was done by Arup lighting, a large firm of engineers and designers who create weird wacky and wonderful lighting designs all over the world.
