Sector

Definition

External energies that flow through a site: wind, sun, fire risk, views, noise, wildlife

Interpretation

If zones are about frequency of use, sectors are about frequency of forces. Sectors are the sun’s path, the winter wind, the downhill water, the fire corridor. Understanding them lets us block what’s harmful and invite what’s helpful.

Living Invitation

Spend one day noticing sunlight in your space. Where does it rise, strike, and fade? That’s your solar sector.
