“The Relationship Between Direction, Daylight & the Experience of Space”

Founder & Director, ANUKUL Health & Vastu Clinic
Human beings have lived with daylight for thousands of years.
Modern architecture, however, sometimes creates interiors that depend heavily on artificial lighting.
Traditional Vastu pays attention to orientation and openings.
Modern building design also considers daylight, glare and thermal performance.
East
Morning sunlight may enter through appropriately oriented eastern openings.
West
Afternoon and evening sunlight can be stronger and may increase heat gain.
North & South
The exact daylight pattern depends on geographic latitude, climate and building orientation.
