Title:	The colours of steel bridges in Japan - principles and examples
Abstract:	It is presently recognized worldwide that the colours of steel bridges - besides their form - serve as one of the key factors of their aesthetic design. This paper refers to the colouring problem being characteristic of Japan, since - in addition to the respect for the usual theory of colours - special Japanese particulars, based on tradition and philosophy of life, are followed. Several bridge examples shown here stand for the accentuation effect of that special approach. Die Farben der Stahlbrücken in Japan - Grundsätze und Beispiele. Es ist heute allgemein bekannt, dass die Farbe einer Stahlbrücke - außer ihrer Form - als einer der Grundfaktoren des ästhetischen Gestaltens gilt. Der vorliegende Beitrag bezieht sich auf dieses für Japan charakteristische Thema, da - neben der Beachtung der gewöhnlichen Farbenlehre - spezifische japanische Besonderheiten befolgt werden, die der Tradition und der Lebensphilosophie zugrunde liegen. Die hier vorgestellten Brückenbeispiele verdeutlichen die Akzentuierung infolge der besonderen Behandlung des Themas Farbgebung.
