Imagine a future where every glass skyscraper is embedded with hundreds of tiny sensors. A central server performs a continuous, real-time glass sky scan. As the sun moves, the software sends commands to electrochromic windows to tint themselves to deflect light away from a school playground.
As urbanization accelerates and we build ever higher toward the clouds, our ability to scan, understand, and tame the glass sky will separate sustainable cities from solar ovens. The future is bright—but not blindingly so, thanks to the scan. glass sky scan
But we forgot that light is a two-way street. The sky reflects off the glass, and the glass reflects back into the sky, creating a loop of radiation, glare, and heat. Imagine a future where every glass skyscraper is
