Notes:
Shadow studies are essential, as the play of light and shadow on
architectural surfaces informs aesthetic perceptions,
correlates with solar heat gain, affects how we use public
spaces, impacts neighboring properties, and influences why we
might choose a particular site. In this course, learn how to
approach shadow studies using SketchUp, the popular 3D
modeling application. Instructor Scott Onstott starts by
examining how sunlight illuminates the earth at different
latitudes and hemispheres, and explaining why solstices and
equinoxes are the key times of year to analyze. Then, he
demonstrates how to create a set of 3D helper tools based on a
site's particular solar altitudes and azimuths. He goes on to use
these tools to design an awning that provides shade during the
summer and lets light in during the winter. In addition, he shows
how to geolocate and reorient a massing model, save scenes at key
times of day and seasons of the year, and output an animated
time-lapse shadow study.
