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

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. It’s curved stainless steel panels would make it quite blinding during the day and i believe they had to abrade many of the stainless panels to reduce the amount of light that they would reflect.
