Lab_6 1_Es Via Eugenio Barsanti, Roma

The area that I'm analyzing is situated in Rome, between Trastevere Station and the end of Ettore Rolli's Street. The blocks are characterized by high buildings, that may create some problems of shading but, in this case, the situation is partially solved by considerable road sections.

I'm studying the building where I live, that overlooks on the beginning of Viale Marconi and a dead-end street. There are no many buildings around because there is  a parking on the back and my building is separeted from another one by the high road section. So, i will analyse the relation with the apartmenthouse on the other side of Eugenio Barsanti's Street, that has a section of 16 meters. It seems also interesting to understand when my room on the fourth floor is illuminated during the day.

08.30 a.m.:  The building has a facade totally dark. The front of my room is shaded for the first five floors. The building at the end of the blind alley is totally illuminated: in fact, there isn't a high building that closes the street but only a wall 3 meters-high. In this way, the sunlight can illuminate the front without any problems.

11 a.m.: The front on Ettore Rolli's street is still shaded. Half of the facade on the dead-end road is illuminated: we can find the same situation on the building at the end of the street. The fourth floor is still dark.

01.15 p.m.: The front on Ettore Rolli's street is illuminated and finally the sunlight enters in my room, on the fourth floor.

4 p.m.: Both the facades are almost entirely illuminated if it wasn't for the shadows of the high building and his huge advertising space, on the other side of Ettore Rolli's street.

The few trees near my building don't influenced the shading significantly.
