Skyscrapers that don’t cast shadows Smart structures work together to reflect sunlight into the shade In the race to build taller skyscrapers, large areas of cities are being plunged into shadow as a result. To bring a bit of sunshine back into the lives of the people below, global architecture firm NBBJ has designed the first shadowless building. It used computer modelling and algorithms to create a pair of towers that work together to reduce shadows on the ground by 60 per cent. The concept is intended to be built in Greenwich, London, but the firm says its software can be used to design similar skyscrapers for cities all over the world.
The shadowless structures could be two of the 250 new skyscrapers planned for London
