Have you ever photographed a building from sunset to dark with a wide range of time-lapse photography?

No special method is needed. As long as your camera supports unlimited hours, there is no problem.

And it depends on your shooting needs, one every hour or one every minute or less.

My LX7 is timed at 250 beats at most, one beat at a time, more than four hours. Obviously, there is no problem with what you said.
