Abstract
A computer-implemented method for computing an envelope (BE) for a building to be designed, the method comprising: defining an initial volume (IV) of the building; and for each one a plurality of points (PPP) of a boundary (PRB) of a neighboring region (PR) of the building, computing a cutting surface (CS) and modifying the initial volume by cutting out portions thereof extending above said cutting surface; wherein each cutting surface is defined in such a way that the initial volume, modified by cutting out portions thereof extending above it, projects over the corresponding point of the boundary a shadow (SW) whose duration is equal to a predetermined value; said envelope being defined by a boundary surface of a remaining volume. A computer program product, a non-transitory computer-readable data-storage medium and a Computer Aided Design system for carrying out such a method.
