I understood it to mean that the scaffolding will block incoming light before it reaches the lens of the building's facade. It will, of course also block reflected light, but the main benefit ought to be blocking it before it becomes focused.
- JonnieCache 13y agoI guess I was imagining the light coming down almost vertically (hard to block) and then being reflected into the street, but I suppose that's not really how light works is it, no matter how oddly shaped your building is. Thanks for the correction.
- frobozz 13y agoI'd be surprised if they could get a "temporary scaffold screen" "at street level" up "within 24 hours" that would be capable of that. This is a tall building and the problem appears to be quite high up. I would imagine that the purpose is to provide something else for the death ray to burn instead of shops and cars.
