Shadows from NYC supertowers are a bummer

To make the mirrors actually throw sun where the shadow is being cast, there would need to be a lot of them, reflecting the sun one way, then backwards, then onto the park. They’d have to move constantly to ensure the sun is actually being thrown where it needs to be and they would block the views from the building itself. Finally, they’d throw shadows themselves. So yes, it’s totally out of the question.
