Building Elevation Revision


Thanks for the input, here's the modification for the new Daylight penetration from clerestory windows, based on the formula: distance of 2.5H from the opening, where H is the opening’s height above the floor. The light will not penetrate all the way into the building, but it is enough to penetrate the circulation areas on the second floor.
For the first floor, I was thinking to put like a light shelves where the natural lights could bouncing off inside the classroom area..
At this point, this is what I could think off.. feel free for suggestions or ideas




old elevation based on the roof plan..(yellow line to indicate how deep the natural light could penetrate)
