TABLE OF CONTENTS
Our project is an extension of the Architecture and Design Center on Thomas Jefferson's East Falls campus. We hoped to be able to connect all of the design students in one location with this new building, as design classes are currently spread out across the campus. The new building is around 22,000 total square feet, with close to 5,000 sq ft of Studio space.

SUN STUDY
South Facade
March/September
The floor overhangs proved helpful in the Solstice sun.
SUN STUDY
We felt it was more helpful to the project to observe April & October sun instead of July, because more people will be using the building in late Spring than in the middle of the Summer.
April/October December
Not included here, the vertical louvres were helpful in the lower Winter sun.
PROCESS BOOK | 38
Analysis
Process Model 1 Process Model 2
Our first model included sun shading for the first level on the North facade, and vertical louvres on the second and third levels on the South facade. We also cut openings in the roof to allow light into the third level. The heliodon showed us we needed more sun control on the South facade, and maybe not as much overhang for shading on the North.
We found that the best sun control solution for our building was a combination of floor overhangs to control the high Summer sun and harness the low December light, and vertical louvers to control the East and West sun in the early and late afternoon classes.

OCTOBER 10TH
The elevation of the second floor of A&D posed a challenge for us designing our ramp. Our first iteration of the ramp (above) did not take into account the low second floor height, you can see that the ramp begins sloping down where the curtain wall begins on the first floor.
DECEMBER 8TH
To remedy this, we altered the ramp to make a 1.25 rotation from a 1.5 rotation so that we would not need any straight ramp at the second level. We also lowered the Northwest half of the second floor 2.5 feet so that we would not need to ramp up from A&D as much, while keeping enough head height in the main ramp.
