     From what I've seen as a software designer, mostly on the side,   
     here's how I'd roll with building something reflective that's   
     200 meters wide, 170 km long, and 500 meters tall:   
      
     Start by making something reflective but smaller - like 20 meters   
     wide, 50 meters long, and 10 meters high - and run with that for   
     a few years to get the hang of it.   
      
     After that, you can maybe scale up by adding something next   
     to it that's 150 meters long, 50 meters wide, and 50 meters   
     tall, and keep going like that.   
      
     I'm thinking of calling it "agile building architecture" and   
     patenting it.
