– Geometric rules was the key to ensuring buildings were as beautiful as possible…– Geometry is the fundamental science of forms and their order. Geometric figures, forms and transformations build the material of architectural design. In contemporary architecture there are no fixed rules about design concepts. But there are still relations to geometric space concepts. There is a need of new geometric background for architectural design.– Large openings towards EAST direction for morning sun – cool light.– Skylights, are designed to admit more sunlight by channeling the light into the office space are provided opening from the roof.– Small cut-outs in the roof slab, which are then filled with hollow glass and curved acrylic sheetthat take away the glare and transmit diffused light.– The change of the sky color when morning dawns, completely bright sky, time zone of direct sunlight, the shadow of the sun by cloud movement, sky color during the time zone of sunset, moonlight.– The projection of the change of 24 hours on the ceiling surface enables the home to always provide an atmosphere to be able to feel the change of outside nature even while staying inside.– REDIRECTION DEVICES take incoming sunlight and direct it towards the ceiling space. They aim to reduce glare and to increase daylight penetration. These devices typically take on of two forms: louvered systems or a large horizontal element. Horizontal elements are commonly referred to as light-shelves.
