LAB_6 ES_1 Vasari_ Via Oderisi da Gubbio_Livia Scipioni

At first I used tab MANAGE to set the assonometric view instead the prospective one. Then I choose the meter scale instead the inches scale by the tab MANAGE/PROJECT UNITS. Using SET LOCATION I selected the geographic location of my house, and selecting IMPORT IMAGE I placed the aerial photo of it. With the option LINE, founded in the MODEL/CREATE MASS tab, I have draw the perimeter of the house. Once I have the surface I'm going to extrude the model using MODIFY and stretching the up directing arrow, then I set the wright height (3.50 m per floor) selecting that on the command. At the end I select FINISH MASS to close the operation. With the command SUN PATH ON I choose the time (8:15a.m, 12:40 a.m) and the day (20/03/14) to see the different shadows of the house during the day (with SHADOW ON). Using CAMERA I set the same prospective view of the real one, previously made,changing the values of EYE ELEVATION and TARGET ELEVATION.

I studied my building that is located in Via Oderisi da Gubbio 232, Roma. I choosed the street view, to observe the behaviour of the sun path. In the morning, at 8.15 a.m, the building is for a half shady by the opposite building. Then, at 12.40 a.m, the building is totally illuminated by the sun. As we can see in the real picture either the trees contribute to cast a shadow on the front.
