Light Model Experiment -Day(Sun) Light-

lihgtexperiment_WinterSummer.jpg

To find out the effect of sun light into the Stroll- By Maze Gallery, I have decided to conduct a light model experiment based on sun's path according to Summer and Winter solstices in London. Each increment of photo in this experiment equals to one hour of sun light casted onto the Gallery.
Therefore, in Summer we have 17hrs and 30min of daylight in comparison with Winter with only 7hrs and 30min has more light photo increments.
The summer increment and winter increment can be compared by looking vertically at same hour of the day. For instance, in the light measument by color, you can notice high intensity of light can be observed in summer (color green), but not in winter due to weak sun light.

Another interesting effecting tendency is that despite of the fact the height of wall is 4M with narrow corridor, in summer time the direct sunlight will penetrate directly on floor of the gallery. You can see this phenomenon at noon of Summer solstice. However, in winter time, due to low sun altitude angle, only weak diffuse light will penetrate into the space, making the space much attractive and soft.
