mapping sunlight Since my project mainly focuses on the sunlight element, I need to find a site that perfectly serves my interest in creating light phenomena. Initially, I was struggling a lot to find an ideal site as most of the time, the morning weather was either not enough sunny or the sun was too subtle, in other words, or densely cloudy and gloomy. Therefore, throughout the project, I kept going back and forth at more than one site (the bridge between building G and F and the window corner of building F) to finalize which one worked the best at what time the sun was the strongest. After some experimentation and observation, I was able to learn where the sun traveled throughout the day in the following sun plan and sun map. While the bridge works the best from 11 am to 13 pm, the other one is more ideal in the afternoon, specifically from 13 pm to 17 pm, depending on occassions when the likelihood of the weather is sunny or overcast.
