Abstract

Designing of bridge constructions is an engineering issue. Among the many aspects of relevance, safety, production technology and economy are crucial – aesthetics, regrettably, tending to be ignored. It must not be neglected, though, that full comprehending and including all the principles of aesthetic design of bridges are necessary in the initial as well as final designing phases. These rules are useful as the guidelines for composition and combining the structure’s elements into a whole while checking the overall concept.
