DEDUCTIVE AND INDUCTIVE CONSTRUCTS IURI TROMBINI

ARCH 301

With the previously arrangement presented with 9 stones, understanding the stone as a built volume with
interior space, was possible to develop studies of deductive construction, such as shadow casting, water
catchment projection, wind shadow projection and ventilation flow study.

Previously stone arrangement presented, each stone representing a room and a built form.

SHADOW CASTING PROJECTION IN PLAN

Shadow
Casting -
Summer
Solstice
Most part of
the north
facade of te
building
keeps with
shadow all
day long.

SHADOW CASTING PROJECTION IN PLAN

Shadow
Casting -
Winter Solstice
As the elevation
of sun in the
winter solstice is
lower than the
summer, it
creates big
shadow areas.

Shadow
Casting -
Equinox
The true north
facade is only
the one that
keeps with
shadow all day
long.

Sketch of water catchment, top lightning system and rainwater collection system.
The roof has a slope in only one direction maximizing the rainwater collection and favoring the natural
illumination at the rooms on south.

Wind shadow projection

over the building and
trough flow ventilation on
the rooms.
Cross wind as a potentiality
strategy for reduce energy
consumption.
