Solo City Tower for Olympics


In preparation for the 2016 Olympic Games, that will be held in Rio de Janeiro, an amazing observation tower has been drafted up in welcoming the games.

This project is from Zurique, and utilizes solar energy during the day to pump the sea water as seen in the model. The kinetic energy of the water movement will be used to turn the turbines and produce power for the night time.

This amazing structure is called the Solo City Tower and will be used for many different things; 1. A welcoming sign to new visitors arriving via plane. 2 The perfect observation deck to this the beautiful beaches 3. Cafe Amphitheatre 4. Auditorium 5. Shops 6. AND, you can also Bungee jump from the top platform!
