In London, there is a skyscraper known as the Walkie-Talkie because of its curved shape that has stirred a lot of controversy. Although it has a unique design, it has caused several problems. Because of its curved shape, sunlight reflects off of it down towards the ground and has actually melted people cars' parked on the side of the street. However, developers are beginning to add a sunshade attached to the south facing facade to stop sunlight from reflecting onto the street. These developers plan on making this sunshade out of horizontal aluminum fins which they say will solve this problem.
