Observations of Space:
- this week has been a drastic change
- the shadows have shifted greatly and have no similarity to the two weeks before
- week one to week two was drastic, week two to week three had little changes and looked very similar, and week three to week four was once again drastic
- the shadows on the right side started dull and unclear and then changed to clear defined shadows
- by the last week the shadows were still very defined but had shifted greatly
- this space was now becoming more desirable
- shadows were almost back to the point that they were at on week one
- people were now sitting on the right side of the table in the middle of the space
- the week before the people were sitting on the opposite side

approx. 1:00 p.m.





Observations of Space:
- very harsh shadows entering in on the right side instead of the left
- the shadow patternd appear very similar to the week before
- less daylight entering on the left
- the glare is too high and very uncomfortable when looking at the floor where the sun is hitting
- was one person sitting i the sun but not directly facing the sun
- had the person been sitting on the chair opposite the table then the sun would have directly been in their eyes and would have been absolutely unbearable
- the space was full of people today but everyone was trying to avoid the window letting all of the sun in
- the one person sitting there was forced to sit there because it was the only available seat
- this side of the space is too hot and too hard to look at

[Observations of Space]
-more light appears to be coming in on the right side instead of entering at equal amounts on both sides
-the shadows on the right side are more harsh and defined
-the shadows on the left are softer and seem to fade into the color of the floor
-it is way too hot to sit on the right side (which is where my viewpoint is)
-creates too much of a glare on my paper
-very uncomfortable
-explains why no one was sitting here already
-the area around the windows is way too bright so my eyes had to adjust to looking at the other side of room which is darker because there is no daylight
-approximately two people were sitting on the side with the windows and five people sitting on the side with only electric lights
-after thirty minutes the sun had moved behind my viewpoint and cooled down the space some
