built atop the island of Cotonduba will be the welcome

symbol to the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro..

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 parts of Rio.

what appears like a water fall and this fall stimulates

turbines that produce energy during the night.
