Es4_Analysis of the project

eThis time, we've developed the project's volumes and we've analyzed the shading and the solar radiation of the different facades during summer and winter.

The area which we've to study is located between Via del Porto Fluviale and Via del Commercio. 

The program involves the realization of a building with differentiated functions: residences, shops and ateliers. It should be measure 7100 mq (about 21.850 mc). Will be carried out different types of apartments ranging from 25 mq to 100 mq for more users, such as families looking for stable situation, young singles, students, unemployed looking for temporary houses.

We've project 4 buildings, both of whom is partitioned into three parts: shops and ateliers, flats, single families houses. In corrispondence to the last ones, we'd like  to realize private green spaces with different types of plants depending on the orientation.

CONSIDERATIONS: We've noticed that our buildings receive very little sunlight on morning and afternoon (especially on winter). It could be considered a vantage on summer because rooms are confortable and refreshing, but on winter it's a negative feature: so we've thought the flats will have got big balconies which will be able to retain the heat of the sunlight and to transmit it to the adjacent rooms; besides. we're planning to share suitable heating system inside of them. Instead, during the hottest hours of summer our buildings receive a mighty sunlight so it'd be necessary shield the walls and above all the terraces with fitting plants which will contribuite to the thermal isolation of underlying flats. 

About the courtyard, we're thinking to create a sort of flower box with benches, along the earlier building facing West, in order to shield it from the sunlight also. However, we're still designing the open space, so we're going to arrange it for the next time. 

NEW DEVELOPMENTS...

We've modified the single families houses's volumes, in fact this time they're all the same. Besides, we've added the vegetation in the courtyard and outside the buildings, more precisely we've choosen the linden tree: it has European and Caucasian origins, it's deciduous, it reaches even the size of 25 to 30 meters high, and has got a rounded crown. This one, very long-lived, can be up to 200 years, can stand the cold and even strong winds, and can be placed in areas completely sunny or partially shaded. For his great ability to adapt to various conditions and types of land, it is often used for street trees city.

SOME PERSPECTIVE VIEWS...

About our courtyard. we've introduce this type of trees' pattern following the advices of the last lesson.

Two reasons:

1)  Create a path under the trees (thanks to the remarkable height of the trunk) and a good shielding to the sunlight, especially on summer during which the district is very sunny.

2) The presence of a green area creates, besides, quite harmony in contrast with the industrial peculiarity of this area.

It's interesting also the geometry of the shadows, generated by the trees and the single families houses' roofs.
