Abstract:
In India, there are no aesthetic guidelines for choosing the type of bridge for a specific location, nor are there any aesthetic standards that must be followed during design development. The large number of rivers and great variety of terrain in India make aesthetic standardization impossible. The most important principle in bridge architecture in India is to achieve a clean and well-defined anatomical construction, devoid of deception and unnecessary detail, and with a directness of line both pleasing to the eye and responsive to the senses. Among the most conspicuous advances in the last decade has been the introduction of color and illumination, both of which can make a vigorous contribution to the aesthetic aspects of bridges.
