21st december 2023 The curved presented 0900 yellow-colored arc depicts the sun's journey, while the yellow deposit depicts the fluctuation in the sun's course over the year. The higher the sun is above the horizon, the closer a point is to the centre. The colours in the time-slider above depict the sunshine during the day. 07:28:47 Dawn E

Solar data for the selected location
Figure 5.12 Room orientation related to the movement of the sun throughout the day (Northern Hemisphere) (Neufert & Neufert, 2012)
In consideration of researching the design with the sun, it is necessary to examine the building orientation with the goal to design the architectural typology in designated land use. However, the data reveals that the Summer sunset is on the east side, whereas the Winter sunrise is to the southeast. This may be concluded that the place has powerful morning sun, which is desirable for warming up in the summer but cools down quickly in the winter. Furthermore, the sunset hour is the same in the Summer and Winter, which is on the Southwest. Taking into consideration typology is type of powerful evening sun, especially in the summer, as well as probable overheating and glare on site. Building typology or layout should take into account room orientation pertaining to the movement of the sun all through the day, which is the spaces subjected towards the sunrise ought to include an office, changing room and bathroom, nevertheless during winter is appropriate with bedroom, kitchen, breakfast area, study area and one-room apartment. Meanwhile, sunset is more focused on the community space, music room, library, and playroom.
