Shadow Study

Even though the Parcel 16 site is surrounded by sky-scrappers, the sun and shadow paths doesn't affect the site as much as much as I thought it would. The large commercialized mixed-use buildings are located North of the site and the residential brownstone buidings are South of the site; in which the suns path travels from East in the morning, hovers above South at noon time, and settles in the West. With the openness of Parcel 17, 18 and 19, it allows the morning sunrise to gain great amount of exposure to the Columbus Ave. facade. Also,the Columbus Ave. facade is the most prominat to the ongoing traffic of Interstate-90 traveling West bound.

To proceed:
- interpretation of sun/shadow study
- wind study relevant to its surround context
- interpretation of the wind analysis
