METHODOLOGY FOR EVALUATING THE ESTHETICS OF BRIDGE DESIGNS
Presented is a systematic method for determining the esthetic appeal of bridge designs by the use of paired line drawings in which one visual factor at a time is varied. These paired drawings are used for judging. The results of a survey taken show that esthetic perference is generally given to such factors as simplicity, slimness, symmetry, and harmony with the site.
