چکیده مقاله :
Light, as the most effective element of nature, beyond providing illumination, light fulfills climatic needs, psychological requirements, and the decoration of spaces.In this regard, a study was conducted in Vakil Bazaar in Shiraz. This study aims to investigate qualitative conditions of natural light in the southern route (rasteh) of the bazaar, and to propose ways to improve these conditions. This research was carried out using a descriptive-analytical method with the aid of Rhino software, the Grasshopper and Honeybee plugins to analyze the southern rasteh of Vakil Bazaar in terms of light conditions throughout the year. The findings indicate that the Spatial Daylight Autonomy (SDA) index, based on 300 lux, for the southern route of Vakil Bazaar is currently 23.64. Considering that the SDA index for indoor lighting in suitable conditions is 50, the current lighting conditions are considered unfavorable, and based on the calculations of software tests, it is suggested that the roof hornos of the bazaar up to a diameter of one meter.How to improve the lighting conditions in the Vakil bazaar with the help of software analysis and by modeling the past conditions of the Vakil bazaar, is one of the most important results of this research.
