Day Lighting
Curtain walls provide natural light, and ventilation to the interior as well as views to the outside. Complete lighting for all spaces can be achieved. Passive heating and cooling mitigations possible. Minimized direct sun exposure while having a well lit space. Natural ventilation easily achieved. East to weast orientation optimized the preformance of the building.
Annual Illumination
Overlit/Underlit
Percentage of time there is more than two hours of direct sun light in a single day (between 12pm - 2pm between June 21 - August 21) is less than 5%.

Wood design studio
Project 04 Designing is better when it comes true. This the reason why I decided to took a wood design studio. I have designed a couple of furniture and the fun part is that I am actually using those in my apartment. This course was great because you can see how your designs became real and useful.
