the issue of my survey comprises the affects of the sun on my building, that is located in Gazometro Street, 35, Rome.
-LOCAL SETTING. my first step was to identify the local setting of the building through the satellite view and then I drew the buildings' volume, starting from the map imported from google.
-SUN SETTINGS. sun affects analsys is divided into three time frames: 12.30 PM, 15.00 PM and 17.30 PM. so it is possible to see how lights and shadows affect the building during the day (or during certain parts of the day). at last I compared real photos with virtual views.
my apartment is oriented to the east-west, so it gets plenty of light from the west side of the building, but, unfortunately, it gets much less light on the east one, the side that faces the street, because of the tall building located in front of mine.
