The aim of the study is to acquire fundamental knowledge concerning the affective meaning communicated through thescenes of architecture. The method of study is to analyze the entropies of probabilities of occurrence (solid angle ratios) of symbols (faces/facets which divided the whole scene) of 4 images as the amounts of morphological information, and the average values of the load of the scenes on the semantic scale of "spacially private ⇔ spacially public" as the amounts of magnitude of affective meaning, on a constructed system of visual perception applying Stevens' law, information theory, perceptual circulation theory, 1-factor information channel model. The result of an experiment which treat perception of 6 images of architecture with sketches by the subjects shows that the time length of the observation closely reflect the perceived depth of layer (nested structure effaces/facets). The diagrams show the relationship between the hierarchical depth of layers and the amounts of morphological information, at the same time as the amounts of magnitude of affective meaning. As a result, it is supported that perceptual circulation enables instantaneous vision to get almost the same magnitude of affective meaning as careful vision, even in the case of peripheral vision which scarcely cares details compares with the case of foveal and paracentral vision, as is different from the case of morphological information.
