Shading study

noon December 21 - Natural daylight makes it to the studio space at the second level... but not so, at the first level.... the only part that is in shadow is the circulation are

noon June 21 - Natural daylight comes full bore into the first level studio (Iwill need some sort of shading device there... and I am really excited that the second level studio space will be shaded well with the light shelves bringing in the light throughout the studio space.


noon March 21 - Natural daylight seem to make it into the studios in the upper level window area and diffused with the light shelf, while the bulk of the studio will be shaded by the sun shades .

Nice model. I like the way you have juxtaposed the solid massing of the Dorm against the much lighter structure of the Studios.

Ken, typically daylighting is used in the context of lighting a interior room during the day without artifical lights.
If looks like you are investigating shadows.

Werner,
true, daylighting studies involves naturaly lighting the interior space... these diagrams confirm that sun is able to get into the courtyard as well as the studio building despite the dorm duilding on Boylston. the sections/building services will detail better the daylighting.
