Abstract:

It is presently recognized worldwide that the colours of steel bridges - besides their form - serve as one of the key factors of their aesthetic design. This paper refers to the colouring problem being characteristic of Japan, since - in addition to the respect for the usual theory of colours - special Japanese particulars, based on tradition and philosophy of life, are followed. Several bridge examples shown here stand for the accentuation effect of that special approach.
