Abstract
This report is a study on the image of constructive styles in architecture. First, we classified the constructive styles of before-modern architecture into 6 items and one of modem architecture into 7 items on the composition, the materials and the form. 53 scenes (exterior) of all types in the classifications of the constructive styles were evaluated by 20 students with 50 rating scales. The process of verbal expression of the image includes some steps and lead from perception to valuation through sensation. 50 rating scales were selected as all types in that. Image factor analysis was applied the data and yielded 4 main factors, which are interpreted as hard-soft axis, friendly-indefferent axis, gorgeous-simple axis and excellent-inferior axis. 2 axes of hard-soft and friendly-indifferent have much relation to the elements of the materials and the composition, gorgeous-simple axis has much relation to the element of the form, and these 3 axes are leaded from the step of perception to the step of sensation of the image. Excellent-inferior axis values these 3 axes together. As mentioned above, the constructive styles can be interpreted as these 4 axes.
