Dynamic Analysis
Highlights, analysis and temporal dynamics of the shadow of their own and reach the ground from a farm located in the municipality of Curinga (CZ). From the analysis it is clear that the shadow area, parked along the side facing north-east with the possibility of inserting routes and staging area to be used mainly in the afternoon. The reading of the cards solar supports this hypothesis as the increase of speed, and then a change of the shadow, affects mainly the North-South anointed the component due to the low values ??of declination and high values ??of right ascension of the sun over the period. In contrast, along the side facing South-West, the direct light prejudice living comfort in the afternoon with annoying problems of direct radiation in the interior and near the entrance.







Limit Comparison
The limit comparison between two or more objects is the limit beyond which the shadow line flow from the apparent contour of the object nearest to the light source laps the outer perimeter of the object / s compared according to the same view collimated. the Plan isometric, side shows, has the distinction of being the undeformed plan with geometric characteristics similar to the true angles and curves retain their original shape, while varying the size and scale relationships in the object so unequal. In the present case, the line of the shadow from a tree, of a truncated cone type. At 15.00 the day August 1st, lapping part of the roof of the building near the entrance. The limit, in this case, tree - building, compares through their mutual distance of the two objects, the height, and the shaft type to be implanted. Knowing evaluate carefully in the design phase, this limit means solving aspects of energy and home comfort no longer be derogated.






The images speak for themselves that follow illustrate some case studies in Turin.

The pruning of tall trees with a strong ornamental distorts their normal growth and the effects are visible for the non-reversibility during the growth of the original form. In these cases has not been evaluated confrontanza the limit of the site with the type of tree, the distance of the shadow on the outer wall, in addition to no avail. the west elevation.
The chairs and benches placed in the park in the vicinity of a group of maple trees, during the middle of a Summer day, are fully exposed to the sun. It leaves the reader with the rest of the comment ..
