EW facades filtering and expression [rad. and light analysis]

A final simulation series is done to incorporate daylight filtering of the east and west facades, to differentiate the large simple facade and create a scale relation to the surroundings and visitors. A cumulative analysis is first simulated to detect any glare zones. As these hardly are present, as prior argumented, due to orientation and surrounding buildings, placement of the filter (louvers) can be done in the few zones with slight higher radiation and through the effect of internal enclosure. Louvers are chosen to create a layer between the internal and external zones, with removing the expression of an open continues building.
