Aggregation of solar-powered building units with fitness based on total solar radiation. The base level is required to have a certain percentage of interior open space. New units are not added unless they increase the overall radiation available. Done in Ecotect.
Influence of light and topography on typology. Color corresponds to levels of solar radiation.
