This study explores strategies for designing architectural form and space that is responsive to the solar and seasonal cycles. It is an attempt to establish some of the ways a building can be integrated into natural cycles, minimizing its negative impact on the environment. The study provides insights for Sustainable or Green Architecture, which are often considered to be extensions of Organic Architecture.
A significant outcome of the investigation was that the use of computer modeling and simulation provided an efficient way to analyze and verify design decisions. Computer models are flexible, providing visual representations and an alternative to traditional techniques for solar study
