Night Radiation and the Time Lag of Thick Walls

Day and night contrast of the same courtyard. During the day, walls absorb heat, keeping the interior cool, and people stay in the shade and indoors; at night, the walls slowly release heat, people move to the rooftop and courtyard to cool off, while the ground and pool radiate heat to the clear night sky for cooling. Life shifts with this time difference. Avoid: depicting day and night with the same usage patterns, using thin walls that lose heat storage capacity, neglecting the use of the rooftop at night, adding a large amount of artificial lighting in the night scene.

同一個庭院的日夜對照。白天牆體吸熱、室內保持涼爽,人待在陰影與室內;夜裡牆體把熱慢慢放出,人移到屋頂與庭院乘涼,地面與水池則向清朗的夜空輻射降溫。生活隨著這個時差移動。避免:把日夜畫成同樣的使用方式、使用輕薄的牆體失去蓄熱、忽略屋頂在夜間的使用、在夜景裡加入大量人工照明。
