Abstract
AbstractNowadays, steel‐glass designs usually prevail in modern architecture [1]. Glass has evolved from the material used mainly for windows into a material that is often combined with steel and used for curtain walls and various structural members in many types of structure, such as buildings, railway stations, airport terminals and passenger service centres on expressways ([2], [3], [4], [5]). Structural aesthetics, reflected in the beauty of objects of refined taste, is a major concern in both architectural and engineering forms [6]. Japanese aesthetics, based on tradition, has been widely shown in architecture itself as well as in the world of engineering structures [7]. This contribution discusses the perception of the aesthetic qualities of steel‐glass elements in buildings – considering their dimensions, visual lightness, texture, reflection, transparency, colour, light, translucence and design context.
