designed by frank gehry, this exuberantly oblique structure houses the computer science departments of MIT. it’s a very interesting design,because of its fusion of different materials and entirely deconstructive reworking of a traditional space.

WORLDS LARGEST DEATH RAY WAS ACCIDENTALLY CREATED IN LONDON BY A NEW SKYSCRAPER UNDER CONSTRUCTION THAT SCORCHES THE EARTH AND MELTS CARS!

The building was designed by an architect from the Ukraine who had also created another skyscraper with the same problem in the US.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U89nNeBByGQ

This new skyscraper in London is dubbed as the 'Walkie-Talkie' since in London we give nicknames to the skyscrapers depending on their shape, (i.e; the intelligent and energy-efficient 'Gherkin' skyscraper designed by England's Sir Norman Foster is shaped like a gherkin... the new tallest skyscraper in London (and also in Western Europe) 'Shard' which was designed by Italian architect Renzo Piano (and made from 95% recycled materials and designed to reflect light elegantly), gets its name from resembling a shard of glass... and the 'Electric Razor' skyscraper (which is the worlds first wind-turbine skyscraper) is shaped like an electric razor; hence its name).

So this new skyscraper is dubbed as the 'Walkie Talkie' due to resembling the shape of a Walkie-Talkie.

Walkie Talkie is the opposite shape to Renzo Piano's Shard design in London.
(Shard is like an elegant pyramid reaching up to the sky, whilst Walkie Talkie "would have made the Egyptians proud by proving top-heavy shaped buildings could be produced.'')

Walkie Talkie is supposed to look like this on completion, (video below showing the elegant sky gardens which are planned at the top of the skyscraper for public use).


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bByho1j4cTs 2:10 in the video onwards looks very beautiful.

But it's turned into a nightmare for people instead and a joke, since the curves on the glass (which are supposed to be 21st century architecture and energy efficient) is what is causing a BIG problem, along with the glass of the windows.

The curves and the glass are acting like a huge magnifying glass.... the sun rays hits the building and then the heat is intensified into a big 'death ray'.
(It only affects the area of the street surrounding it for a few weeks in the summer. It doesn't affect anywhere else in London luckily).
It's caused a lot of media attention and people visiting it out of curiosity! :cool: :picard1:

The ray is so hot, (92 degrees celsius!! *o*) that a man shows he can even fry an egg on a wall from the burning heat which is being reflected from the 'walkie-scorchie fry-scraper' onto the street beneath it. News reporters and a crowd of curious people are unable to bear the intense temperature steaming onto the London street beneath the skyscraper, as shown in the funny video report below.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tD4AUeX2rbc ;)

The designers and builders will need to change the glass on the windows to something darker, since the heat it's creating is so hot that the paintwork is falling off the walls in the cafes and shops opposite the new fryscraper, dubbed as the 'walkie-scorchie'. Peoples properties are being damaged since the tiles are falling off the walls and pavement caused by the extremely hot sun rays. Items inside the windows of a cafe and also in a hair salon opposite the fryscraper were damaged too.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TGnZz8-PvdY

The video-clip below shows that the death ray is blinding pedestrians who pass by the building in the street, whilst a man's designer car melted in the heat ray projecting from the fry-scraper directly onto the area where his car was parked!
The owner of the car was compensated for the damage.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=veuvwsqVwyQ

It's reported that the area surrounding 20 Fenchurch Street in London has now become hotter than Death Valley during the summertime in the video report below. A man said his shoes melted in the heat. Peoples businesses are being affected and a carpet rug turned black, started smouldering, and nearly caught fire!!


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BTBm9LwzIAw

Well I'm a heliophobe, so I won't be going anywhere near this intensity of sun rays (not even with my sunblocks and super protective sun-parasol) until the glass is changed. :picard1:
