Preparations have been done, to liven up the Olympics to 31 in Rio de Janeiro Brazil, but still six years held the Olympics. Architecture and design consulting firm, Rafaa, located in Zurich Switzerland is one company that proposes a "landmark green" to realize the success of these Olympics.
Development Rio de Janeiro is intended as a symbol of the Olympics that has zero carbon.
Rafaa in his official blog, said: "This project will provide energy for the city of Rio de Janeiro and its citizens to use natural resources."
Rafaa projects such as solar power and an artificial waterfall on the sea, the tower called Solar City Tower.
Electrical energy generated through solar panels on the tower during the day is useful for electrical energy in the city of Rio de Janeiro. Above the tower there is the tank to accommodate the sea water that is pumped by electricity.
It will turn the turbines to generate electricity, so it can illuminate the city at night. Addition of water applied to the top of the tower will come down like a waterfall shape at night.
The tower has a height 105 meters. The tower also provides many facilities. Among a plaza that is above sea level about 60 m, office and canteen which is under the waterfall and a gathering place of social activity called Amphitheater.
There is also a fantastic entertainment on offer, which is bungee jumping. Bungee jumping will be 90.5 meters in height. Waterfalls will be visible clearly when they're on a balcony at the top level with a transparent floor platform.
These designs will be exhibited at China International Architectural Expo event of the 5th, which will be held at China National Convention Center Beijing, held in October 2010. In the Low Carbon Architecture Forum, will be on showcase this design.
