Creepy? I think it's fantastic! Although it is more interesting from the outside. But still...

Do you think it's creepy because it makes you think of a hive?

It makes me think of frothy bubbles, like a bubble bath, so I think it looks nice. And skylights make me happy.

But I can see how it could look creepy.

Maybe it's creepy, but it's also super cool.

From the outside, it was merely the watercube... but from the inside, it's THE HIVE.

That'd make a seriously awesome sci-fi set. =)

does anyone know what kind of online streaming nbc is planning and how much they are charging for it? any free streaming? Bars that are fun to watch the olympics at? Once every 4 years it sucks not to have tv.

It is beautiful. Especially the reflection in the water. It makes me think of rocks or lily pads.

Now that all the Olympic swimmers have left, can we clean the Olympic swimming pools at last?

I'm not a fellow synchro fan. Maybe that's why I think the building is great instead of creepy? Will the bubbly hive ceiling throw off the synchronization?

I swim a lot, and I love pools that have natural light. The sun shining down on the blue water while you are under it is awesome. If that hive stuff lets in natural light, I as a swimmer would love it!

@jkjk

I'm hoping so, though they've been really avoiding the topic on their site. I'm gonna to be in Japan, and as fun as it'll be to watch ONLY Japanese athletes in ONLY competitions that the Japanese are in, I'll miss me some swimming and gymnastics.
