the building industry accrues a wide set of computational methods and metrics to evaluate daylight and glare, the useful application of these methods in design requires a more strategic mindset. The more methods that we establish, the more important it becomes
to appropriately match them to the level of information known at the various stages of design. Here we will present the full range of techniques that we use to ensure daylight, visual comfort, and visual access to the outdoors at each phase of our process.
Starting with simple direct sun and view studies in early design to identify suitable areas of the floor plan, we move gradually to more advanced glare and daylight autonomy simulations as we develop concepts for how occupants inhabit the space.</span></p>

creation of a materials database for lighting simulation, and the development of new daylighting standards in Singapore. </span></p>

solar control. After multiple iterations, the design team settled on electrochromic glazing, begetting the question of how to control over 900 tintable zones. Weissman developed an algorithm that allows the skylight to ‘follow’ the sun throughout the day and
year, optimized to provide required shading for conservation criteria, and all while maintaining views. Perfectly tuned to its locale and adapted to the architecture, the pattern created by each scene state is a constantly evolving expression of the exact
daylight-control needed at each moment.</span></p>
