Brasilia Digital TV Tower

Brasilia Digital TV Tower, Television tower in Lago Norte, Brazil.

The Brasilia Digital TV Tower, known as the "Flor do Cerrado", is a 182-meter broadcast tower in Lago Norte, about 20 km from central Brasília. Its cylindrical concrete stem rises 120 meters, topped by 50 meters of steel structure and a 12-meter antenna. Two glass stems branch out: one at 60 meters holds an exhibition hall with a model of Brasília, and one at 80 meters was planned for a bar/café. A 360-degree viewpoint sits at 110 meters.

The building was completed in 2012 as Oscar Niemeyer's final architectural work before his death at 104 years old. It represents the conclusion of a career that fundamentally shaped Brasília's appearance.

The tower's nickname, "Flor do Cerrado", comes from its two glass stems, which resemble the leaves of a Cerrado plant. At 60 m an exhibition hall holds a model of Brasília like the one in the Espaço Lúcio Costa at Praça dos Três Poderes. The tower is the first collective digital TV transmission tower in Brazil, sharing its signal among several broadcasters, including Rede Globo.

The tower stands in the Taquari Residential Sector of Lago Norte, about 20 km from central Brasília, on a 40,000 m² plot at 1,215 m above sea level. The 110 m viewpoint gives a 360º view; the 60 m hall holds a model of Brasília. The bar/café announced for 80 m had no opening date as of 2016, and the tower was closed for structural and accessibility repairs from 2013 to 2015 and again until 2018.

The tower's official name is Torre de TV Digital de Brasília, but it is known as "Flor do Cerrado". It was the last Oscar Niemeyer project completed before his death on 5 December 2012. The first day of public visits drew 2,370 people.
