They have been blamed for casting a shadow over urban areas and occasionally creating a 'death ray-style' beam of sunlight capable of melting cars on the street.

So architects have now designed skyscrapers which don't block out the light by diffusing it onto a wide area in a bid to tackle the problem of shade encroaching on public space in London.

Christian Coop,NBBJ's design director, said: 'The relationship between the sun and shadow is the relationship between the two buildings.
