TECHNICAL ARCHITECTURE I
The building under study, a seven-storey museum located in New York (US) and recontextualized in Bari (IT), appears as a series of overlapping and staggered white parallelepipeds. For the analysis, given the complexity of the aggregation of volumes, the building was simplified to three floors. In this research we have analyzed the building from many points of view. After the location analysis such as average temperature, wind power ecc. we have done lighting, energy and climate analysis.
