The Disney theater in LA did that too with its curvy stainless steel roof. They had to put a duller, more brushed finish on them. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walt_Disney_Concert_Hall#Reflection_problems

Melted Jag ![]() ![]() It's not really that hard to imagine why they didn't discover the phenomenon during whatever testing/discovery phase they had. What are the odds of most folks thinking about the fact that the sun changes position in the sky (sometimes very quickly making a big difference) other than just east to west? I'm often reminded because the setting sun sometimes hammers me at work, but only a couple of times a year. The rest of the year, it sets behind one of two buildings.

Problem being that parabolas take light from any direction and redirect it to the same focus. Only thing that calms it is the projected area presented to the light beign reduced, or the sun setting.
