VGS plays a key role in improving building functionality and aesthetic value. The paper tries to assess the beauty of inner surfaces depending on the functionality of these surfaces, and the pleasing level of these surfaces for the beholders. The methodology focused on evaluating the aesthetic value and functionality based on the performance of these types of walls. The influence of the functionality on the aesthetic judgment has been investigated to evaluated human perception to assess the aesthetic value of the VGS in the building based on aesthetic cognition process. Case studies have been selected to be analyzed for this purpose. Theoretical analysis proceeded in accordance with the examination model and supported by comparing the obtained outcomes with the attained findings through the opinions of experts. The findings revealed the significant influence of the functionality performance on the aesthetic judgment of VGS among professional people. The results give useful evidence for the promotion of our understanding regarding the aesthetic value of VGS of a building, objectively and subjectively.
