May I be the first to say (here), "how could they be so ****ing stupid?"


I very much doubt they realised that could do that until it did!...


Not much of an architect then! This is basic physics along with knowledge of
where the sun shines from.




Yes physics it is .. but in reality just how many would pick up on this
being a problem before the building went up?.

Mirror-like surface and concave - that should have rung alarm bells
immediately!

Yes but your a scientists brain there're architects more artists in a
way...

When I was at school this would have been part of 1st year Physics and
that was compulsory for the first two years for every pupil!

In this case it is even worse, as the same architect had similar
problems with another building three years earlier.
