Sun Studies

Spring/Fall

Summer

So here are videos of my sun study for the site with my shape on it. The filled in floor plate (which is not the actual design, and is just there to help indicate the shadow's movement) changes to yellow at 12 PM. Three studies are present. At 9/21 slash 3/21, 6/21, and 12/21. As you can see, the shape creates a favorable shadow pattern during the midday hours during the summer. I believe this space should be utilized as outdoor space for the library probably centered around the cafe area. I still need to look at exactly where the parvis should be placed over the highway, and where the highway should be left exposed. This investigation is forthcoming.
