I select the study area by clicking on the 'Set Location' and 'Import Site Image'.

To have a better view I select 'Orthographic view'.

To create surfaces I select 'Create Mass', select the 'Line' tool in the 'Draw' box and start creating the outline of the buildings.

I adjust the height of the building, than I select the 'Finish Mass'.

Analysis:

 

The building is located in the eleventh City Hall, in front of Via Pietro Frattini. The building consists of 4 floors and is characterized by balconies linking him to the building mate. The surrounding buildings are arranged at such a distance that does not shade the building during the entire day. The building is surrounded by many trees, which provide shade the facade facing east during the early part of the morning. The front facing south-west not present any kind of obstacle and has full lighting in the second part of the day, for this reason it is partially shielded by trees. 

It can be argued that the only shadowing is produced from its balconies. 

The quality of light is very valuable, both to the comfort level inside the house but also at the level of enjoyment of outdoor spaces, for that reason the balconies have sizable.

 

 

The study was performed in two different times of day, at 10:00 and at 17:30 on 14/03/2014
