This time I want to talk about my own house. This will be useful to understand better the influence that both the exposure and the climate have on buildings, and so, on the quality of life for people living inside them.

The building I live in is situated in the north periphery of Rome. It’s a 8- floor high building with only one side exposure apartments. Mine has a North-West orientation.

I live at the 7^th floor with only one side exposure, with a deep balcony in front of the house.

In questa immagine planimetrica ho evidenziato casa mia ( che è solo la metà destra del rettangolo), e la casa quadrata ad essa adiacente, che facendo ombra su di essa crea ovviamente delle interferenze sull' illuminazione delle finistre del fronte Nord-ovest.

Ho scelto il Prunus armenica, noto come albicocco, perchè ne ho uno nel mio giardino, ed è una pianta che si incontra di frequente nelle aree mediterranee.

Come si nota dalla foto, l' abero è piuttosto basso, con una chioma larga e compatta, per questo l' ho assimilata ad un cilindro molto schiacciato nella modellazione.

Il primo passaggio che ho fatto è stato creare quattro livelli , corrispondenti a :

For the last exercise we needed to analyze the solar radiation of the windows of our project. The model and the windows that we created are rough and they continuously change day by day. Our project is located in Terni and it reacts to a demand of apartments at low cost. The compound is composed by 5 buildings. The long side of two of them is towards south-east and the other three are towards north-west. All of them has 5 floors and the external galleries are located towards the sun route because they become not only a place of transition but also a place where people can stay.
