The 2016 Summer Olympics, officially known as the Games of the XXXI Olympiad, are a major international multi-sport event to be celebrated in the tradition of the Olympic Games, as governed by the International Olympic Committee (IOC). The host city of the Games will be Rio de Janeiro.  They are scheduled to be held from August 5 to 21, 2016.
This vertical structure will be placed in Copacabana Island. It will be both an 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 solar 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 amphitheatre, auditorium, shops etc.  lifts will take the visitors to the top, where the view will be fantastic, and bungee jumping will have a special platform.
