Abstract: There is provided an architectural Al alloy material which undergoes minor loss of proof stress even after a baking finish treatment at a high temperature of 260 to 280° C. and which can be subjected to acute-angle bending, as well as, a process for manufacturing the same. This architectural Al alloy material, which is a hot rolled JIS A3003 material, contains a fiber structure and a recrystallized grain structure having an area ratio of 20 % or less after a baking finish treatment at 300° C. or lower, and undergoes a proof stress loss of 10% or less after the baking finish treatment. The Al alloy material is manufactured only by hot rolling which is carried out under control such that the temperature at the end of rolling be in the range of 290 to 340° C.
