Hey architect! Did you get your architecture degree from the back of a cereal box? Maybe you should just stick to building LEGO playsets. Or at least only catering to supervillains.
A new skyscraper in London nicknamed the “Walkie Talkie” has melted a car parked nearby because the curved and mirrored exterior of the building focuses the sun’s energy on a nearby street in the afternoon.
