Abstract
In this paper, we examine visual effects of the building inserted in the landscape, standing on the different position. It mainly consists of two experiments (Experiment I, II). In Experiment I, we discuss the sense of largeness, dullness and conspiciousness about the scene which is reproduced by video tape recorder on the 50-in. screen. In that scene the distance from view point to the building changes sequentially (390m-3000m). We get results that the sense of conspiciousness emerges at a long distance, and as the distance grows down the sense of largeness emerges and the sense of dullness emerges in order, and that the distance at which emerges the sense of largeness is related with the building's height. In Experiment II, we use a set of positive transparency and discuss the evaluation of the landscape barriered with the building. As the result of factor analysis, we get two significant factors, may be called "Potency" and "Visual comfortableness". And it is verified that the evaluation varies according to the building's height, even the observer' distance to it is the same.
