The objective of the research is to analyze the psychological evaluation of the spatial representation in the Western paintings to obtain the insights to the reception of the architectural images. The psychological evaluation experiment based on the SD methods was conducted to quantitatively measure the impression of the spatial representation by the viewers. The factor analysis was conducted in order to capture the psychological evaluation structure, and 7 factors are obtained. The Cluster Analysis was performed to categorize 5 distinctive types of the reception from the psychological evaluations, <Consciousness-Types>. The analysis of the <Consciousness-Types> as well as <Element Composition> and <Focus-Zone> types obtained from the Indication Experiments showed the certain relationship between the psychological evaluations and compositional characteristics.
