ProjectVasari1

For this first exercitation I've uploaded the image of the area next to via Amleto Palermi              --->  ANALYZE - LOCATION - IMPORT SITE LOCATION

Then I've represented the volumes of Val Melaina's courts and schools and of my preliminary draft  and I've remarked the different floors of the project's volumes adding a new level to the default's ones              --->  MODEL - CREATE MASS - FINISH MASS                                                                                                                                                          --> MODIFY - PLACE LEVEL                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                -->  MODIFY -  MODEL - MASS FLOORS

Afterward I've setted on sunlight at summer' solstice and winter' solstice (h. 12.00) to study the shading. This allowed me to study and change the choice of the volumes in order to avoid sun exposition problems in the most difficult climatic periods.                                                                                                                                    --->  SUN PATH ON - SHADOWS ON

To estimate the actual validness of the results, I compared a picture took by me during the inspection on the projet area the 10th of March 2012 at 12 o'clock with a piscture by Vasari which showed the shading in the same day and at the same time. Watching pictures number 6 and 7 it can be demonstrated that Vasari is a reliable program for what concerns the shades study.

Exploring the program's commands I've also discovered to have the opportunity to recognize the solar radiation of the project  area. It shows that the facades facing south are most affected by solar radiation, calculated in BTU/ft^2 (British Thermal Unit / square foot = 2713kcal/m^2), so are those who most need protection from the sun, especially in summer (IMG 8). With my project I'll have to solve this problem with suitable shielding.

With the pictures number 9 and 10 I want to point out further analysis developed by Vasari, such as the energy consumption's analysis of the draft. Thanks to these dates I can expect in my project solution aimed at energy saving and renewable energy production in the right quantities.
