Olympic Tower 2016... Rio de Janeiro
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. e lifts will take the visitors to the top, where the view will be fantastic, and bungee jumping will have a special platform.

What Jain Says:
This is a hoax which has been circulating around through email and website. The Solar City Tower is a concept envisaged by Zurich based architecture and design studio RAFAA. The design was created for a competition in 2009. The images show an artist's impression of what the proposed tower might look like if constructed. However, the project is just a proposal and the tower may never actually be built.
