TOOLS THIS WEEK
	MAP SERVICES HIT THE STREETS Mapping has become one of the most competitive areas in free web services. Everyone needs it, everyone uses it — including the architect who wants to get somewhere. With such popularity, advertising dollars flow freely in and investments into new mapping and viewing features seem to come quite frequently. These days you can even see somewhere, in many cases, without leaving the office.
	MAKING THE WATER CUBE The Beijing National Aquatics Center, often referred to as the "Water Cube," was built for the 2008 Olympic Games. The winning entry in an international design competition was submitted by the China State Construction and Engineering Corporation (CSCEC) with Arup and PTW Architects.
