Site+Analysis+-+Comparisons+&+Development

For this week, I put in the site context around my building, and also rotated the site so that it is properly situated in the Northeast direction. Due to the fact that the surrounding buildings on my site are fairly far apart and not very tall, my building is not impacted much by the buildings around it.

Shading analysis on the site showed that my building is hardly impacted by shading from other buildings, but will shade the buildings adjacent to it. Since the building will be subjected to direct sunlight for most of the day, a shading strategy will need to be put into place to keep the spaces cooler.

Not much daylight is getting into the building with the current fenestration pattern. I will work on developing one that will give more daylighting to the areas that require it and leave the other spaces as they are.
