Viewing from High-rise Buildings: Effects of Surrounding Architectural Features on Occupants' Subjective Impressions

Many cities have implemented compact city regulations in response to population expansion and land scarcity, which has increased the number of high-rise buildings.In crowded cities, surrounding buildings frequently block the window views of high-rise buildings, which hurts the psychological health of the occupants.In order to address this issue, the present study analyzes the effects of window views from high-rise buildings in urban areas, concentrating on how surrounding architectural features promote positive subjective impressions.The three main aspects examined the effects of roof types, planning measures, and facade characteristics on subjective impressions.Through three experiments, this study investigates the possibility of restoration of different types of roofs, the effects of planning measures, and facade characteristics on perceived oppressiveness.
