You just have that worthless monumental piece there, you can't do anything with it.

damn! now that's impressive!

That was too cool:thumbsup

That is wicked, guaranteed there won't be any empty seat come 2008

they could probably build in a fake floor and make it a basketball arena.. or freeze the pools and make it for ice skating or hocky :)

That is really fucking cool building. :thumbsup

Did anyone even watch the video clip? It's not a monument...it's their proposed swimming and diving venue.

Inside the cube are the pools, stands and diving platforms.
