The top-heavy shape of 20 Fenchurch Street, a skyscraper currently under construction in London, has earned the building the nickname, 'The Walkie Talkie.' Unfortunately, the building's shape also acts as a giant concave mirror, blasting a nearby street with intense reflected sunlight that recently melted a parked Jaguar.
The building's architect Rafael Viñoly has made the mistake before - his curved design for the Vdara Hotel & Spa in Las Vegas acts as a parabolic reflector, searing a nearby pool deck with what employees call the 'Vdara Death Ray.'

I checked, it's actually true hahaha
