Swiss architects, RAFAA Architecture and Design have come up with a concept design for the summer games. The Solar City Tower will be a solar power plant by day that will power up Rio de Janeiro and the Olympic village. At night, it will use a pumped seawater storage system to generate power. The building will also be a treat to the eyes with occasional waterfall created by pumping water over its edges. <\/p>\n<p>It will also boast a plaza and an amphitheater, 60 meters above sea level. This can be used for social gatherings and events. The 105 meter tall tower will also have a cafeteria and shops on the side facing the Atlantic Ocean behind the waterfall. The top-most floor has an observation deck that lets you glimpse a breathtaking 360 degree view of Rio and the surrounding ocean. And if that\u2019s not enough, you can pump up your adrenaline with the retractable bungee-jumping platform. If all goes as planned, the Solar City Tower is sure to be an attraction at the Summer Games in Rio. <\/p>\n<p><span class=\"mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.greenlaunches.com\/entry_images\/0410\/01\/Solar-City-Tower-by-RAFAA-2.php\" onclick=\"window.open('http:\/\/www.greenlaunches.com\/entry_images\/0410\/01\/Solar-City-Tower-by-RAFAA-2.php','popup','width=1000,height=849,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0'); return false\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.greenlaunches.com\/entry_images\/0410\/01\/Solar-City-Tower-by-RAFAA-2-thumb-450x382.jpg\" width=\"450\" height=\"382\" alt=\"Solar-City-Tower-by-RAFAA-2.jpg\" class=\"mt-image-center\" style=\"text-align: center; display: block; margin: 0 auto 20px;\" \/><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.greenlaunches.com\/entry_images\/0410\/01\/Solar-City-Tower-by-RAFAA-3.php\" onclick=\"window.open('http:\/\/www.greenlaunches.com\/entry_images\/0410\/01\/Solar-City-Tower-by-RAFAA-3.php','popup','width=1000,height=1375,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0'); return false\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.greenlaunches.com\/entry_images\/0410\/01\/Solar-City-Tower-by-RAFAA-3-thumb-450x618.jpg\" width=\"450\" height=\"618\" alt=\"Solar-City-Tower-by-RAFAA-3.jpg\" class=\"mt-image-center\" style=\"text-align: center; display: block; margin: 0 auto 20px;\" \/><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.greenlaunches.com\/entry_images\/0410\/01\/Solar-City-Tower-by-RAFAA-4.php\" onclick=\"window.open('http:\/\/www.greenlaunches.com\/entry_images\/0410\/01\/Solar-City-Tower-by-RAFAA-4.php','popup','width=1000,height=668,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0'); return false\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.greenlaunches.com\/entry_images\/0410\/01\/Solar-City-Tower-by-RAFAA-4-thumb-450x300.jpg\" width=\"450\" height=\"300\" alt=\"Solar-City-Tower-by-RAFAA-4.jpg\" class=\"mt-image-center\" style=\"text-align: center; display: block; margin: 0 auto 20px;\" \/><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p>[<a href=\"http:\/\/www.worldarchitecturenews.com\/index.php?fuseaction=wanappln.projectview&#038;upload_id=13747\">WorldArchitectureNews<\/a>]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 2016 Summer Games in Rio hopes to be carbon-zero and are making a serious effort towards achieving it.
