Bring accurate Sun studies into every studio, lab, and field project

Shadowmap Studio empowers students, teachers, and researchers to make well-informed, strategic, data-driven design decisions by enabling them to upload their own 3D models into real 3D environments. Effortlessly showcase project designs and development impacts to all stakeholders on any device with interactive 3D sunlight and shadow visualization & analytics.

Visualize and communicate your plans beautifully and easier than ever with Shadowmap.

For student projects

Upload an architecture, solar, wind, or urban design study into real context and present an interactive 3D result instead of static diagrams.

For seminars and design studios

Open one shared 3D project in the room: studio reviews, design critiques and environmental modeling assignments, on any device, with no installation.

For research and grants

Use global 3D solar data and clear visual outputs to support research proposals, field studies, and grant-funded environmental analysis.

Case study

HTWG Konstanz architecture students used Shadowmap Studio for an advanced construction project

“As a practical additional tool, we were able to determine the solar radiation based on the surrounding existing buildings, which made it significantly easier to determine our heating concept and the PV system.”
