New home broke Death Valley record 
Photos from open sources Unfinished 37-storey business center Walkie Talkie has become London’s main celebrity last week. Reflecting the sun in his glass walls, he suddenly began to melt a variety of objects on the next street: cars, bicycles, furniture in the cafe opposite. For this, the skyscraper has already been nicknamed Walkie Scorchie (from English scorch – “scorch”). It amuses many Londoners – they are in jokingly come to warm food on the curbs. Victim owners property outraged and surprised how it was possible to build, such this is unclear. Architects make excuses by recalling similar situation in other countries, reports NEWSru.com. Skyscraper on Fannarch Street in Central London, which Developers Should turn in next year, on the south side has a concave mirror facade, imitating the shape of the ancient walkie-talkie mobile radio. This architectural concavity catches and so powerfully reflects the sun’s rays, that the temperature in the concentrated beam reaches a record 69.8 degrees centigrade. The Telegraph notes that this is absolute record in the wild – a hundred years ago in the Death Valley was recorded maximum temperature of 56.7 degrees. And such incredible rays in unusually warm weather from late summer to early autumn every day they “fry” a plot of about 30 meters long on the street Ischip, located a block from Walkie Talkie. The loudest the story is, of course, fused Jaguar, which is nothing suspected owner, parked there this afternoon in last thursday. Returning two hours later, he found that one of the mirrors and the emblem of your favorite car “spread”. After this Sensations at Istchip came running journalists and just a bored public, which fun began to fry fried eggs, hamburgers and vegetables right on sidewalks. Far less fun for the owners of local cafes and stores in which merciless rays melt everything that comes across the way. So the owner of one of the hairdressers said that he had plastic shampoo bottles began to melt in the window and burnt hole in a floor rag. Manager neighboring Vietnamese cafe said that their food is now not prepared in stove, and right on the tables. At the same time it turns out “with a smoke” – in the smell from the burning wooden chairs soars in the air. “The Daily Mail “publishes amazing photos from events. Philip Oldfield, professor of architecture at the University of Nottingham, finds it amazing that there are still so many designers considers glass as a kind of “futuristic material”, conceptually “stuck in the 1950s.” Many Londoners are also not in delighted with the glass buildings of London, not wanting him to “turned into Hong Kong.” Experts are also surprised that creators of such an expensive building as a walkie talkie, construction which is estimated at £ 200 million, failed at stages of modeling and testing calculate this effect reflection. Walkie Talkie developers promise compensation most victims, but at the same time trying to remove some of the guilt, pointing to force majeure in the form of abnormally hot weather: they say, already a few months the mirror facade stands and there weren’t incidents, and then by the end of the summer it was just unexpectedly out of luck. The owners of the building are working to solve the problem, promising in the near future time to build temporary shelters to protect stores. Parking on “street pan” has already been banned. Meanwhile, architecture experts not particularly impressed, noting that with similar problems face many modern skyscrapers, continues The Telegraph. For example, three years ago, guests of the Vdara Hotel in Las Vegas (designed, by the way, by the same architectural studio Rafaela Vinoli, who worked on the Walkie Talkie) – complained that the rays reflected from the walls of the hotel melted plastic glasses by the pool. And in Dallas, the 42-story Museum Tower reflected so much light at the nearby Nasher Sculpture Center, that there Having problems with the pictures in the gallery.
