Abstract

This study aims to discuss the concept of each of the aesthetic and creative considerations, which should be considered by the architect as well as the mutual relation between them. It will also illustrate their etiect on the total designing process for civil constructions such as bridges in order to achieve a construction fulfilling these requirements in addition to its basic function

The general framework of this study is based on two axes:

The first axis sets the principal rules and basic concepts for architectural aesthetics and how to perceive and feel them. At the same time it provides a suggested curriculum to how to evaluate the aesthetic values of bridges during the designing phase before the process of execution.
