[BLDG-SIM] Building glare/reflection problems: Good, bad and ugly

[Charudatta Joshi (CJ)]

Hello everyone,

I am a student of Building Design at ASU. I am initiating a research on
buildings that have been known to cause problems of glare or excessive solar
reflection to either neighboring properties (other buildings, vehicles on
roads, people on streets etc.) or even parts of their own structure. For
example, the Disney Concert Hall by Gehry. This is not an exercise to
identify only famous examples that created problems. The purpose of my
research is to enable prediction and analysis of such glare/reflection (at
design stage and later) and then to mitigate its' impact.

I would appreciate members here giving me examples of such buildings that
caused glare/reflection issues. Any other thoughts on this subject are
welcome too. Thank you for your interest and time.

Regards,
