This study investigates the correlations between empirically-based preferences for architectural features and self-reported preferences for musical attributes. Altogether, 16 architectural attributes related to architectural complexity, indentation, symmetry, rhythm, pattern, and stress and 36 musical attributes of genres, perceived psychological attributes, Five Factors of Music, and 3-Factors are considered in the study, and their correlations are examined across 61 different demographic classes. In short, after gathering the data, Pearson’s correlation coefficient analysis examined the existence of correlation, and Bonferroni correction screened the most reliable ones. Then, categorization and K-mean clustering methods summarized the outcomes to provide a holistic understanding of the discovered correlations. The former reflected a higher number of correlations within genre and FFM in music, and indentation, complexity, and symmetry in architecture. The latter presented interesting correlation trends, including between complicated music and complicated architecture, rap music and the existence of pattern in architecture, and mellow music and simple architectural forms
