With its distinctive shape, large public viewing deck and three floors of sky gardens as well as prime Central London location, 20 Fenchurch Street, a 37-story commercial skyscraper affectionately called 'walkie talkie', was destined to be the pride and joy of the city when completed in 2014. However, a slight design oversight has turned the building into a heat-trapping magnet or as the public now like to call it a 'walkie scorchie'.

          This ia about a building that is curved like a mirror, when the sun puts its sunlight upon this building, the sunlight refelcts off of it and burns the things below like a beam. I learned that this building is like a magnifying glass, and that you can burn things with the suns light reflecting off of a mirror or magnifying glass too.

              I never knew that a skyscraper can produce that much heat that it shoots it around the area. I they should have thought it thought before the posited the buliding like that.

                I learned that the buliding will burn your car,rugs and tiles also that it was a building mistake and it will be fixed.My opinion is that they should fix it ASAP

                  It looks so cool because it kinda looks like a ice cream cone. Also it is 37 stories high. That is cool.

                    They positioned the building near the suns rays. Also, the heat of the sun beams were hot enough to burn the building.
