Rio's Welcome Sign - 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 a part of Rio .


It pumps up water from the ocean to create what
appears like a waterfall 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 thewater fall.


Solar City Tower will be the point of reference
for the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro ..
