Balancing: Types of Shade
Shade can come in many forms including architectural shade (determined by annual sun angles, attached
canopies, freestanding umbrellas and landscape. Balance of sun and shade are determinant in active and
passive activities. In warm climates like Florida, shade is a critical asset to the 12 month use of a space.

Vehicle miles traveled (VMT) around the U.S. have increased
by 70 percent over the last 20 years, compared with a two
percent increase in new highway construction. The U.S.
General Accounting Office predicts that road congestion in
the U.S. will triple in 15 years even if capacity is increased by
20 percent.
Traffic is growing about five times faster than the growth in
population.
