What is the importance of bridge landscape decoration to urban aesthetics?

This paper starts from the concept of bridge landscape aesthetics, by drawing on the development history of bridge aesthetics in ancient and modern times and in China and abroad

Taking aesthetics and philosophical theories as the backing, it analyzes the prospects of the development of bridge landscape aesthetics and argues the practical significance of landscape design methodology proposed in the thesis on the basis of the analysis of the practical significance of the design of bridges by using examples.

As a structure that crosses barriers and facilitates transportation, bridges must meet the needs of transportation functions, but in today's world, where people's awareness of aesthetics is increasing, large bridges often become landmarks of a city or a region with the harmonious unity of engineering and humanistic arts. The bridge design with landscape aesthetics elements is becoming the urgent need of the times

. We trace the history of bridge development, compare the landscape aesthetics of Chinese and foreign bridges under different cultural traditions and aesthetic concepts, analyze their successes and failures, and analyze the specific expressions of bridge landscape aesthetics from the perspective of extension, i.e., the landscape of riverbanks on both sides of the bridges as well as the green landscape of the roads connecting the bridges. Under the premise of reasonable structural stress, the aesthetic design of bridge landscape by applying aesthetic theoretical principles and architectural requirements is the practical landscape design methodology advocated in this paper, which is one of the indispensable design principles of bridges and involves the fields of structural design, aesthetics, architecture, and landscaping, etc., because different bridge structural forms correspond to different aesthetic connotations, which is the requirement for the selection of bridge aesthetics, i.e., the aesthetic requirement of bridge body landscape. This is the aesthetic requirement of bridge selection, which is also the expression and application of the methodology of bridge ontological landscape design. While the bridge landscape and the coordination of the surrounding environment, that is, combined with the environmental characteristics of the landscape construction is the main function of the bridge landscape design, traditional neighborhoods or modern styles, as well as a combination of Chinese and Western architecture and other different surrounding buildings have an impact on the bridge landscape design.

The above systematized theoretical ideas into practice, the final article with illustrated form gives the Hangzhou canal bridges five remediation program analysis, so that the theory of bridge landscape aesthetics in this paper from the perceptual level to the rationality of the leap in practice.
