Rio's
Welcome Symbol for -
2016
Olympics
"Solar City Tower,"
built atop the island of Cotonduba, will be the welcome
symbol to the 2016 Olympic
Games in Rio de
Janeiro.
It will be seen by the game visitors and participants
as
they arrive by air or water.
The tower, captures solar energy. It
will supply energy
for all of the Olympic city, as well as also for part of
Rio .
It pumps up water
from the ocean to create what
appears like a water fall and this fall
stimulates
turbines that
produce energy during the night.
It will also hold the Olympic
flame.
The Tower possesses an amphitheater, an
auditorium,
a cafeteria and
boutiques. Elevators lead to various observatories..
It also has a
retractable platform for the practice of bungee jumping.
At the summit is an
observation point to appreciate
the scenery of the
land and ocean, as well as the water fall.
Solar City Tower
will be the point of reference
for the 2016 Olympic
Games in Rio de Janeiro.
How amazing is that?
