The “Walkie-Talkie Building” in London in 2013 made a lot of speech. But these conversations were a bit negative… Facade design, reflectivity of the selected glasses and the incident caused by the height; glare!

The reflectivity value of the glasses and the high temperature formed on the surfaces when the solar radiation gathered at a certain point in terms of form, sometimes damaged the plastic of a car, sometimes caused the materials in the shop window to deteriorate. It is no longer a luxury but a need to measure the risk of such situations occurring using computational methods in design.
