The solar flower
Haim Dotan, a pioneering Israeli architect who was recently selected to design (with designer Prosper Amir) and construct the Israeli Pavilion at the World Expo 2010 in Shanghai, China, is the designer behind AORA’s iconic solar energy tower, set to launch on Wednesday, June 24, in Southern Israel.
“The AORA solar tower was conceptualized as a flower in the desert, symbolizing harmony and balance with nature.
