DAYLIGHTING POSTER

ASSIGNMENT 2

  • Explanation of building/space, location, use of daylighting, how the ambience is created in terms of light and shadow and spatial experience, about the architect and his style.

  • Thorough research on the passive design strategies, the principles and details needed for these passive design strategies to perform best in location / climate and to achieve comfort.

  • Analysis on the Daylighting and sustainability of this space by modelling it in Autodesk Revit / Sketchup.

Bancho Church Daylighting Analysis

Daylighting animation of Bancho Church using SketchUp for the following dates:

  • 21 March 2022

  • 21 June 2022

  • 21 December 2022

REFLECTION

Daylighting for comfort and ventilation is the main point of this module. With this assignment, I was able to learn some basics with architectural programs like Sketchup and Revit which will be useful for the future. Through analysis of Bancho Church, it became clear that every building needs to take daylighting into consideration. The importance of daylighting design affects the future of sustainable design, in turn affecting the natural environment as well. With this in mind, I will integrate daylighting in my future designs with proper analysis.
