In our previous exercise, we modeled the site where we install our project. We have some question about how drawing specifically the shape of our project because the site is really complex and small so we don’t want to have a dark place with no air and sunlight, Vasari software could be useful for solving that issue with the livability and comfort in the most important moments of the year: solstices and equinoxes.

First, we draw the global shape of our first ideas for the project.

Analysis shading

First, we configure the sun settings for analyse the project at each season, and each time of the days.

Summer solstice :

We note that the central square is shaded for most of the morning and, the square is almost entirely sunny for the afternoon, with the street facades are also well exposed. That a good way to install some public spaces on the central square for enjoying the sun qualities. 

Winter solstice :

We can observe the principal facades are wee exposed for the most oh the winter days and the differents volumes don't have major import on the other building around. 

Spring equinox

The same qualities than for the summer solstice

Then, we decide to analyse more the central square  and the principales facades :

After, solar radiation analyse :

We choose to organise our analysis by period for understanding the solar impact on our project :

Winter solstice

Summer solstice : 

For conclure, this analyse confirme us than the shape of our volumes works for the sunning and the solar radiation.
