Yron, cnn in Dubai\'s desert metropolis, where summer is a long heat wave, when people avoid the scorching sun, shadows are precious.
Enter the latest work of Italian architect and designer Carlo latti--
A shiny metal canopy can create a micro climate in outdoor areas by controlling light and shade.
The roof of the canopy is made up of round mirrors, each mirror has its own motor, which means they can be tilted separately to reflect different numbers of sunlight, and provide different numbers of Shadows at different times.
They can also help generate electricity by reflecting solar light to nearby solar panels.
\"Think of it as a magical canopy, you can put it on the outdoor space and terrace,\" Rati said. He is also a professor at MIT\'s perceptible city laboratory.
Chairman of the World Economic Forum\'s Global Council for the future of cities and urbanization.
The aim is to curb the heat, and in the hottest time, public areas in places like Dubai become \"unlivable \".
Like a sunflower, the mirror can track the sun all day, just like a sunflower longing for the Sun.
Rati said the canopy is also a new presentation of the 1970s disco ball: mirrors can be programmed to create beautiful patterns or spell words in the shadow of the canopy.
\"This is a new way to play with the sun,\" he said.
Latiti assumes that future users will create their own model Credit: Courtesy Carlo latiti Association is partly inspired by the traditional Arab courtyard, which is usually used as a awning, rati described it as \"the evolution of the traditional way to control the level of light, usually appearing in Arab buildings.

In terms of the size of meters, future models can cover the entire courtyard and square and allow owners to affix their artistic marks on the shadows they create.
Rati said that the technology does have its challenge: the prototype is sensitive to rain, although future versions will be waterproof.
It is more expensive than the traditional canopy, although Rati expects the future price to become more affordable.
He said: \"The cost of the prototype is very high, but once you produce it on a large scale, it may drop to about $100 per square meter . \".
Lati added: \"We have received several requests to develop this product to accommodate a wider space . \".
