Bubble box takes top prize
Four fantastic feats of engineering have been fighting it out for the 2009 MacRobert Award, which honours innovation in engineering. The Beijing Water Cube - one of the icons of 2008's Olympic Games - emerged triumphant. Antenna takes a look at the nominees.

Objects from the Water Cube are on display in the Antenna gallery from 19 June 2009 for at least six months.
