This guy accidentally built a death ray. Twice.

There's one architect alive today who can't seem to help making dangerous buildings. I'm not taking notes...

My Google search query, “Help, I accidentally built a death ray, again.” led me here.

Fun video, but sadly not pertinent to my current situation.

"Our Death-ray doesn't seem to be working, I'm standing in it and I'm not dead yet."

Actually, as a physics enthusiast: giant, parabolic glass and mirrors is exactly how I imagine a deathray to look. Even the ancient greeks figured out the math 2200 years ago (though they lacked the technology).

Basically, no one intelligent builds a death ray on accident, and no one wise builds a death ray on accident twice.

Apparently the Fenchurch St building design originally had shades to prevent this, but the design was changed at a late stage

Once is a mistake, twice is ineptitude- when he builds his third death ray we'll know it's intentional.

“If I had a nickel for every time an architect accidentally designed a death ray I would have two nickels. That isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice!”

Kyle: I'm not a super villain.

Also Kyle: Here's a design for a building protected by heat that's totally not a lair.

[SilverWing]

He literally built Doofenschmirtz' lair irl.

What an actual mad lad.

This show gives me “Plankton and his computer-wife Karen” vibes. I mean that as a compliment.

I love that the guy's excuse for the Walkie Scorchie was "I didn't know it got that sunny in London."

"he's not doing it on purpose"
Yeah, death ray me once, shame on you. Death ray me twice, shame on me.

[Serastrasz]

Classic case of:
"Why has no one thought of doing this awesome yet simple thing before? I'm such a genius!"
- Collateral damage intensifies...
"Ah, I get it now."

"The Chris Hemsworth you ordered on Wish"

I would consider that a win

“Insufferable Lex Luthor like Jesse Eisenberg.” So true.

Potential Onion article title: "London man, fed up with constant urban solar vandalism, equips Jaguar with reflector and declares war on ugly architecture."

"You remember outside. You know, where the people are."
Ugh! Why would I wanna go there?

[kilian]

How my grandfather (who has passed away, may his soul rest easy) who was an engineer liked to say: form follows function. If you wanna create a "fancy" building make sure its form first follows it's function (which of course would be housing people or whatever and not grilling things and people).
Buildings like this show how important it is for architects and engineers to work closely together to prevent such expensive mistakes😅

[frankroos]

When I saw the buildings, my thought was "Oops: Curved Mirror..."
Odd that the same guy gets it wrong twice.
In engineering, it happens every now and then. Like that bridge in London that started oscilating to a frequency they had missed in the calculations.
