Scorching Skyscraper
A London skyscraper designed by Rafael Viñoly was dubbed the “Walkie-Talkie” because it looked like one and had all these awesome curves and a grill-like exterior. Unfortunately, the wall that faced south had reflective glass that redirected the sun’s rays towards the unsuspecting people below. As a result, the sun rays caused fires and melted things like cars. Luckily, they were able to stop this from happening by adding a permanent sunshade, which cost millions.
