Your diagrams give a nice analysis of system types whose performance you could explore.
It would be great if you could model at least one of them in time for the midterm presentation, with the aim of modeling all four (or more if other ideas come to you in the meantime) by the end of the course, allowing a direct comparison of their performances under identical load conditions.
Are you able to start modeling, for example in GC?

Congratulations on this step! It looks like you've developed a good way to generate the city 'grid' - which is similar in this example to recent work from Hadid's office, for instance as shown by Patrick Schumacher at last February's SmartGeometry event.
Of course, this way you don't really obtain the contrast between your building and the rest, which you've said you're aiming for, but you can always set the generating 'street' forms to rectilinear for that. In this case you can perhaps 'flatten' your building site by building a new volume whose footprint shape is the same as the site's (but perhaps offset outward if the surrounding street walls are not vertical), giving it sufficient height (or depth, in the downward sense) and doing a further boolean subtraction with it.
On the other hand, if your intent is to keep the surroundings rectilinear anyway, then perhaps it's best to model that by starting from a grid of points - irregularly spaced, if you prefer - and putting a 2-D array of planes and vertical vectors on that set of points, so you can build simple boxes with independent heights right from the beginning.
Anyway, looking forward to seeing the midterm presentation, AC
