Reflected solar-ray of walkie talkie building in the UK
1. Background
The goal of this research is to predict the area affected by the reflected solar ray from the concave facade of walkie talkie building.
2. Simulation for predicting an affected area
With the developed grasshopper script, it is possible to visualize the area affected by the building facade. This developed script can be utilized in a different shape in the early design stage.
