ESERCITATION

The 'building is located in Viale Marconi 34, is part of a residential complex consists of 3 buildings. 

Due to the height of 25 meters of any building I thought it important to understand

the behavior of shadows in the various periods of the year before analyzing the daily trend.

I analyzed the shadows at 12 am: 

A-Solstice 'winter 

B-Solstice 'summer 

C-Spring equinox 

D-Autumnal equinox

I noticed then how the north façade is illuminated most of the year only a few hours in the morning. 

I decided to compare the results obtained by the program to prospects taking pictures at 12, 14, 16 and 17.30. 

The shadows coincide in all cases.
