ProjSkylight Definition    download .ghx

Two free-form surfaces represent a roof structure and ceiling. The XY-plane represents a floor. A circle on the floor can be daylit by projecting it through the ceiling and roof surfaces. The direction of daylight is nearly uniform, but the two separated holes will act as a very fuzzy lens to focus daylight on the circle. Similar to the Surface Sampler sample, the projection direction is controlled by a free point. If the direction is chosen to lie within the sun's annual range, the sun will shine directly on the circle exactly twice a year. If the direction is chosen to lie on either of the two solstice paths, this reduces to exactly once per year. Fixed architecture can have difficulty in responding to moving phenomena.      ... more on Design Patterns CA
