Your lighting diagrams suggest that light comes for all sides somewhat equally. And except for a few spots on the globe, and at certain times of year the light does not enter a building horizontal to the ground plane.
I suggest looking at how light enters buildings differently based on how the building is oriented. Are south and west elevations treated differently from the north elevations. And then further look at what happens to the light after it enters. Look for things like devices to bounce the light deeper into a room, or shading devices to keep the light at the perimeter.
I totally agree with Jerry here. Light doesn't come from all angles at all times and there are varying degrees of preferred light. For example, northern light is generally diffuse and indirect continually throughout the day, where southern exposure will change dynamically. It will also be more direct and will very considerably depending on geographic location & time of year. Light also tends to come from a couple sides, so a plan view may be a better source for this diagram, in addition to highlighting a certain section. Right now, I have no idea what the orientation of each section is. If it becomes too much work to diagram all of these buildings properly, I would focus on a few of them, do a lighting analysis in plan, highlight a prominent section and focus on the differences in light quality for the various represented buildings.
Kamila,

Thank you for the comment, I’ll fix it later.
