The expanded architecture above unintentionally transforms the 37-story building named 20 Fenchurch Street in London into a giant concave mirror looking south.It is said to be the cause of cars parked underneath, distorting the drivers.

Entrepreneur Martin Lindsay was furious when the steel frame along his Jaguar XJ was distorted by the light from the glass-clad skyscraper.

The panel is bent because of the sun.

The chassis is warped from another perspective.

Car mirrors were also damaged.

Another driver said that the sunlight melted the whole package of chips in the car.

A reporter tested the temperature by frying the omelette eggs at the foot of the building.

Graphics show how the sun reflects on cars through a curved building.The project is expected to be completed next year, at a cost of more than 310 million USD.

Electronic thermometer measures the temperature in the ground, where the reflected sunlight from the building is 69.8 degrees Celsius.

The pedestrians were surprised by the heat of the reflected light.To temporarily resolve this situation, the developer plans to build a 4m-wide, 15m-long curtain to shield people and businesses nearby.In the long run, they did not intend to fundamentally change the structure of the building, but were looking for other measures such as using a sheet of chemical film that covers the glass to diffuse the sun.
