- ams6110 16y agoWhatever staggering you do is going to be the equivalent sun-exposed area as the footprint projected on the ground right? You might possibly get away with some kind of balcony arrangement on the southern face of the building, where all levels would get sunlight, and the rest of the building could be offices/residential/whatever. There are still going to be huge inefficiencies in planting, tending, and harvesting compared to open-field farming.
