Wondrous Waterfall Pillars

The Olympic Tower 2016 is a Structure One Would See in Heaven

— January 27, 2012 — Special
The Olympic Tower 2016 is a first look at the greatness that will come to Rio de Janeiro in 2016. The location of the largest athletic games in the world is always looking to impress, and this waterfall is sure to bring even more fame to Rio de Janeiro.

The massive waterfall skyscraper will be solar-powered and run during the day. Energy generated from the panels will be used to pump water from the sea to the top of the structure, where it will fall gracefully back down. On the top of the majestic pilar will be a viewing deck where anyone can peer out onto the vast body of water.

Flying into Rio de Janeiro, one will be able to see the Olympic Tower 2016 from the plane and get a sense of awe even before watching the most epic sporting events on earth.
