Assignment 5: Post 5 examples of Natural Light + Structure + Private vs. Public to your Blog
Natural Light, the sun is the main source of Natural light. Depending on the orientation of the building and the manipulation of openings, space could be perceived in a different way.
1. Using your examples of your building typology show how natural lighting enters each building.
The images can be of various exterior photographs and/or sections. Do you know which side of the building is facing south? Does that change how the natural light comes into the building?

Structure, when we talk about structure we are referring to how is the building standing up? At the very basic level structure is: columns, planes or a combination of those. Structure could be used to define space, suggest movement or develop compositions.
1. Using your examples of your building typology analyze the structure.
Examples:
Exeter Library – Louis Kahn.

Articulated planar structure that creates spatial organization. The columnar structure is based on a grid, which generates spatial organization based on a a pre-existing geometry.
Assembly at Chandigarh – Le Corbusier
Drawings from “Analysis of Precedents”
Private versus Public: Who uses the spaces?
1. Using your examples of your building typology using overlays to show the difference between the private and public spaces in your building. This may also include public entrances and private entrances (service). Public would be the spaces that a any person in this building would have access to. Private would have restricted access. The types of spaces that are private and public will vary from building type to building type.
