Olympic Tower 2016 for Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

[Image: info.png]
This vertical structure will be placed in Cotonduba Island . It will be both a observation Tower , and a welcome sign for the visitors arriving by air and by sea at Rio de Janeiro , where the Olympic Games 2016 will take place. The project is from Zurique, and utilizes solar energy during the day with its solo power panels, to pump the sea water as seen in the model. The movement of the water will be also utilized to turn the turbines
and produce the power to work the system at night time.

In the Solo City Tower is the Cafe anfiteatre, auditórium, shops etc. Elevators will take the visitors to the top where the view will be fantastic, and bungee jumping will have a special platform.

Brazilian Moderator Note:
Instead of it's a wonderful project, it's only a speculation (unfortunately!).
The final design was not defined yet!
