Learn how you can use sunlight to locate, orient, shape, and inspire the details for your architectural design. In this video, I walk you through the design process for a project whose form, orientation, and details were all developed by carefully analyzing the solar path on the building site.
In addition, I discuss:
how to read a solar chart (and where to download one)
what app I prefer to use for solar planning
passive heating and cooling
daylighting concepts
alternate ways to use the sun
solar aspect, solar noon, azimuth, and altitude
how to design for competing site agendas
