Elinye lamagugu okwakha i Ama-Olimpiki aseBeijing ka-2008 kwakuyi- Isikhungo Samanzi Kazwelonke SaseBeijing, eyaziwa nangokuthi ngokusemthethweni i-National Aquatic Center futhi eyaziwa kakhulu njenge-colloquially The Cube wamanzi.
Kuyisikhungo sasemanzini esakhiwa eduze kweBeijing National Stadium e-Olympic Park yemincintiswano yokubhukuda kula ma-Olimpiki.
Yize sinesidlaliso, lesi sakhiwo asilona ikhubhu langempela, kepha i-parallelepiped (ibhokisi elingunxande). Saqala ukwakhiwa kwaso ngo-2003, lesi Sikhungo saqedwa sabe sesilethwa ukuthi sisetshenziswe ngoJanuwari 28, 2008. Iqiniso ukuthi lapho ababhukudi bephula amarekhodi omhlaba angama-25 ngesikhathi semidlalo yama-Olympic.
Ngemuva komcimbi womhlaba, lesi sakhiwo salungiswa kabusha ngama-yuan ayizigidi ezingama-200 ukuze siguqule ingxenye yangaphakathi yaso ibe yipaki lamanzi saze savulwa ngokusemthethweni ngo-Agasti 8, 2010.
Kumele kuqashelwe ukuthi ukwakheka kweWater Cube kwaqalwa ngumzamo weqembu lapho abalingani baseChina bathi isikwele sasifanekisa amasiko abo amaShayina, kanti abalingani baseSydney beza nomqondo wokumboza 'ibhakede' ngamabhamuza, afanekisela amanzi.
Iqiniso ukuthi leli cube lifanekisela umhlaba, kanti isiyingi (esimele inkundla yezemidlalo) simele isibhakabhaka. Ngakho-ke ngokomfanekiso ikhiyubhu lamanzi lezinkomba zokwakhiwa kwamaShayina. Isikhungo i-Aquatic Centre sibe nemicimbi yokubhukuda, yokuntywila kanye neyokuvumelanisa ngesikhathi sama-Olimpiki.
