Urban Farm DB summary

A study examining how variation in spatial qualities affects user experience in selected public rooftop gardens (RG) in Tokyo, Japan. It combined fieldwork and simulation to describe physical attributes across different environmental conditions and interpreted the resulting setting patterns through experience parameters, revealing tendencies of variation in each parameter. By connecting settings to experience, the study frames rooftop garden quality factors as a tangible and intangible relationship between "Space Affordance with Usage" and "Image of Identity."
