Corporations place great emphasis on having iconic buildings.
Today’s invention is a tower which, when built beside a body of water, looks like a rippled reflection in a pool.
This effect would be extended to other buildings and street furniture, so that the actual reflections would mirror those simulated by the buildings themselves.
Today, I discovered this, which is sort of in the same vein.
