Your Recommendation for the “Best” Design Option
Enter a brief paragraph (5 to 7 sentences) outlining a brief explanation of why you chose this design option as the “best” after comparing your analyses of the proposals…
I chose this design as the best due to the light, shade, and climate analysis I ran. The large interior and exterior surface area means that there is significant natural light in the chosen model. This is further evidenced by the test results shown. The circular design led to significant shadows and cooler temperatures at off noon times. The design that looked like stacked slabs suffers because of lack of windows with available light. This could be solved by adding reflective roofing on every floor. Ultimately I went with the simplest design that would allow for sufficient sunlight.
