Luis de Garrido’s Extraordinary Berimbau Tower Projects Video and Images

<a href="http://www.luisdegarrido.com/contenido.html">Luis de Garrido</a> has come up with a fascinating design for low-energy multimedia telecommunications infrastructure that could be used at both the 2014 World Cup and 2016 Olympic Games in Rio. Primarily a telecommunications tower, the Berimbau also has a five-story spherical attachment with an extraordinary LED skin that can project images. Each level in this building has a different function, including recreational, retail, and office, and bioclimatic conditions are controlled with a combination of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passive_solar_building_design">passive design</a> and cutting edge technology.

Luis de Garrido designed this telecommunications tower for Rio

It is a mixed-use project that has a spherical building attached

The 5 storey ball has a clever skin that controls the interior climate

LEDs on the inside can be controlled to project images and video

Garrido also designed the Eye of Horus house so popular on Inhabitat

This building is designed to be completely recyclable, so that in theory it could be disassembled and reassembled elsewhere!
