The results of the research that has been carried out recently by, e.g. environmental psychologists, indicate that architects and non-architects frequently differ in their assessments of architecture. Things which are liked by architects are not necessarily liked by thousands of recipients of the everyday reality that is shaped by these architects. Architects and non-architects think about architecture in a different way, they make their perceptions of architectural structures on the basis of different indications, fi nally they also differ, e.g. in assessing aesthetics of the observed buildings. The article constitutes original quantitative and qualitative studies on attitudes towards architectural structures carried out among 40 students of the faculty of architecture and practicing architects as well as 36 students and persons who were not connected with designing in any way. The results of the discussed research confi rm earlier reports published in the literature of the subject on this issue, namely that differences in perceiving and assessing architecture between persons who are educated in architectural design and persons who are not professionally connected with architecture may be signifi cant.

Wyniki podejmowanych w minionych latach badań prowadzonych m.in. przez psychologów środowiskowych wskazują, że architekci i nie-architekci często różnią się w ocenach architektury. To, co podoba się architektom, niekoniecznie podoba się tysiącom odbiorców kształtowanej przez tychże architektów codziennej rzeczywistości. Architekci i nie-architekci inaczej myślą o architekturze, tworzą swoje spostrzeżenia obiektów architektonicznych na bazie różnych wskazówek, w końcu różnią się m.in. w ocenie estetyki spostrzeganych obiektów. W artykule przedstawiono autorskie, ilościowe i jakościowe, badania postaw wobec obiektu architektonicznego przeprowadzone wśród 40 studentów wydziału architektury i praktykujących architektów oraz 36 studentów i osób niezwiązanych w żaden sposób z projektowaniem. Wyniki omówionych tu badań potwierdzają wcześniejsze doniesienia publikowane w literaturze przedmiotu, wskazują bowiem, że różnica w spostrzeganiu i ocenach architektury między osobami wykształconymi w projektowaniu architektonicznym i osobami niezwiązanymi profesjonalnie z architekturą może być znacząca.
