A new self sufficient tudent housing for IAAC

In this exercise, we will optimize the position and height of the 18 towers within our plot to maximize the amount of solar radiation incident on the rooftop of each tower. We are using the Ladybug plugin for Solar Radiation Analysis.
Once the general volumes are optimized, a second optimization will be run to determine the best rotation for each unit within the tower to achieve the best view range.
