The present invention provides an architecture for performing vertical farming. The embodiments of the present invention disclose an arrangement of a plurality of reflective surfaces to maximize the amount of most beneficial natural light that can be gathered. The pluralities of reflective surfaces are arranged strategically in the polygonal architecture to direct the available natural light to the furthest reach of the growing area. Additionally, the architecture provides spiral arrangement of one or more growing panels where each growing panel is at predetermined height from the preceding growing panel.
