Abstract
In this chapter, a guide for the analysis of the adaptive reuse potential of inner-city modern movement car parking structures for controlled environment agriculture is developed and presented. The tool aims to lead the design process and allow the replication of the theoretical findings from this study when conceptualising the up-cycling scenario. To achieve these goals, the guide points out the planning, architectural and environmental criteria, the steps and tools, and summarises knowledge that contributes to the architectural exploration of the various possibilities for repurposing modern movement garages for viable agricultural operations.
