The NASCAR Hal of Fame honors drivers who have shown exceptional skill at NASCAR driving, all-time great crew chiefs and owners, and other major contributors to the sport.

The exterior twisted steel ribbon representing a race track created a potential of glare for pedestrians and cars passing near by. My mandate was to help the design team understanding if this was a real issue or not.

 

With the use of computer simulation, several videos where created demonstrating the effect of the reflection of the direct sunlight on the surroundings of the building to identify glare sources. Simulations for the solstice and equinoxes where performed.
