Summary:Previous dealt with the visual assessment of the architectural concrete walls with the size of 900 mm square on the various conditions. However it is not sure that these results can be applicable to real walls of general buildings. The object of this paper is to make clear the size effect of the result by considering the assessment by concrete specimens with the size of 900 mm square, the assessment of composite photographs and the assessment of walls with real size of real buildings. The results obtained are as follows. : 1) The assessment of the concrete specimens is able to apply the assessment of the architectural walls. 2) The architectural concrete walls felt more impressive than the concrete specimens about warmth, abundance, roughness and simpleness. 3) The architectural concrete walls which felt light are felt comfortable.
