Abstract
Previous reports was focused on the effects of three dimensional structure to the aesthetic evaluation using dialogs and pictures taken by students who strolled in Koishikawa Korakuen. It presented what types of space structure would be aesthetically evaluated, and what types of sequential experience would control the visual impressions. In this time, the discussion is focused on the effects of spatial experience and the influence of cultural background to the aesthetic evaluation. As the result, intellectual information is necessary for the collect evaluation. Spatial experience promotes the psychological effects of the scene and makes possible to grasp the site with its environmental condition. In another words, students with spatial experience evaluated the garden in broader context than students with only visual information. In addition, Japanese students tend to evaluate nature or natural phenomenon while American students tend to evaluate artifice or philosophy in the garden.
