Solar City Tower for Rio Olympics 2016 - Travis Caulfield








This is a proposed Solar City tower for the Olympics in Rio in 2016.  It is a renewable energy generating tower located on the coast of Rio and is one of the first buildings we’ve seen designed for the 2016 Rio Olympics. It is also designed as a waterfall! The Solar City Tower is designed by Zurich-based RAFAA Architecture & Design It features a large solar system to generate power during the day and a pumped water storage system to generate power at night. RAFAA's goal is that a symbolic tower such as this can serve as a starting point for a global green movement and help make the 2016 Olympic Games more sustainable.  Travis Caulfield
