the immense amount of arrogance that architect has, to not even admit his mistakes and offer counter measures to reduce its effect, but to instead shift the blame on "not having the tools to detect the problem", as if every other skyscraper in the world is a heatgun too, but to moreover show a lack of respect for a human's life just because he's enjoying in vegas, is beyond appalling

I know. This is high school level simple physics. Don't build a concave surface that reflects the sun in potentially sunny area if you do not want death rays.

[@El_Negro2003]

I wanted to be an architect but I guess I’m gonna have to turn to the dark side

[@harrisonhschan]

Mechanical here (HVAC & plumbing).... I've seen enough problems caused by architects for us, and some that are just poor design choices.

[@YeppohTube]

Look Viñoli. If you really want that parabolic curved esthetic on your death ray buildings, make sure to direct the concave part away from the Sun so no light can converge from any angle. Like north, if built in the northern hemisphere. The fact that a death ray building was designed and built facing the sun not once, but twice from the same architect! Almost feels like it was done on purpose.

Apparently this was also a problem (to a much lesser extent) with the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles, designed by Frank Gehry.

There is a building in Edinburgh where at certain times of the year, the sunlight would come in through the windows near the roof, bounce off the glass interior and blind everyone. As a fix, the maintenance crews would stick brown wrapping paper on the window but then senior management from England would demand the paper be removed as it spoiled the look. It appears the architect did not realise that Scotland is further North than England and that the sun would appear lower on the horizon at certain times of year.
