Adding Green to Architectures: Empirical Research Based on Indoor Vertical Greening of the Emotional Promotion on Adolescents
Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
Comments and Suggestions for AuthorsDear Authors,
Here are several suggestions that may enhance the quality of your paper:
ABSTRACT
The abstract precisely summarises the objectives of the study and the main results. Please try to better express the phrase "combination of the architectural quantification and perception" perhaps this concept can be expressed by clarifying what is meant by architectural quantification.
KEYWORDS
Consider including "building interfaces" as this is a discussed topic in the article.
INTRODUCTION
In the introduction, it is not well defined how the contribution stands in relation to the existing literature. It is unclear whether previous studies have explored the "emotional impact of different vertical greening landscape elements" and how this study connects with them. In the text it is stated "There is little research on the health promotion effect of users, and only some studies have shown the beneficial effect of a single green element" perhaps the results of this research can be briefly reported. This could be interesting in order to highlight the originality of the paper compared to the existing literature. Please revise the paragraph and ensure that any errors in Figure 2's text are corrected, and appropriately reference the figure in the text.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
The paragraph is well articulated. Given the subdivision into subsections concerning the various methodologies adopted, it might be beneficial to create a graphical representation of the methodological framework for enhanced clarity and comprehension.
CONCLUSIONS AND LIMITATIONS
It is recommended to refer to the research questions initially defined in the introduction and the answers to these questions. It might be useful to merge the paragraphs “Conclusions and Limitations” and possibly define future research developments on the basis of the presented limitations. It could be clarified, for example, if the results obtained are only related to interface systems or if they can be applied to other building elements in the future.
It is recommended to modify the syntactic and grammatical structure of some sentences.

Reviewer 2 Report
Comments and Suggestions for AuthorsThe manuscript proposed by the authors addresses the topic of vertical greenery in terms of effects and perception for users.
The paper needs to be drastically revised from a methodological and structural point of view.
Abstract
What do the authors mean when they talk about architectural quantification? Avoid using first-person expressions such as "we have.."
Introduction
revise the introduction drastically. It does not frame the research problem and does not provide an adequate theoretical background. Some concepts need to be explained and illustrated correctly to facilitate the reader's understanding. What is meant by architectural interface? Are the authors sure that it only concerns the shape and not also the aesthetic aspect?
Correctly explain, also from a technological point of view, the difference between a right-angle interface system and a sandwich interface system.
The authors refer to typical solutions of modern architecture; some examples might be useful.
the transition from 1.1 to 1.2 is very abrupt. The transition to vertical green is not clear.
The objective of the paper emerges only on the fourth page, while... what is the novelty of the paper? What added value does it provide to scientific literature?
method
connection value, degree of integration and agglomeration of the population, calculated via Depthmap, what are they? How were they defined? please clarify.
the methodology is the most important paragraph of your paper, to facilitate the replicability of the study.
in paragraph 2.2.2 do the authors refer to the production of virtual images for the first time? what do they mean by virtual images?
the results should be better supported by the data
insert the limitations paragraph in the discussions or conclusions, highlighting future research horizons more clearly.
Above all, underline the novelty of this paper and the results you have achieved compared to what is already present in the existing literature.
