This thread poses some interesting possibilities. If you could design a unique home, what special locations might a person consider for windows, floor, halls, and rooms so that sunlight would show in special ways?
For example, my home faces southwest, and on Christmas day the sun sets directly in front. Our tree can be 6 meters from the window and get sunlight that afternoon. In June, the back of my home gets the direct sunrise light. (except I have a large shade tree blocking it.) > fer j. de vries wrote: >> [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: >> determine the projections for extremal values of Sun's zenith (for >>each of 365 days, or some other, fewer interval) -- that would give >>the area COVERED by the sunlight -- then the solution is everything >>OUT OF IT.
