Abstract

Can shadows tell us which way the world rotates? Can the sun orient us to the points of the compass? Could we detect what year, day, or time it is using shadows? What effects do the sun and shadows have on architecture?

Objective

In architecture and planning, the position of the sun and the shadows it casts are important factors in the design and siting of buildings.
