| Abstrakt: |
As Roman architectures needed three elements, structural elegance of bridges is the combination of three elements of beauty, functional, structural and beauty of form. Besides, past innovations that added ingenuity and creativity to structural elegance can be considered sustainable. A structure becomes sustainable by combining structural elegance with creativity, which we called structural sustainability. What is the relationship between structural elegance and sustainability? This paper considers how to realize more elegant bridges. |
