Title:	Aesthetic perception of steel-glass architecture in Japan
Abstract:	Nowadays, 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. Ästhetische Rezeption der Stahl-Glas-Architektur in Japan. Stahl-Glas-Konstruktionen sind heutzutage in der modernen Architektur vorherrschend [1]. Glas entfaltete sich von seiner Herkunft, dem Fensterbau, zu einem Material, das üblicherweise in Kombination mit Stahl verwendet wird sowie für Vorhangfassade und für verschiedene Konstruktionselemente in unterschiedlichen Bauwerken, wie Gebäuden, Bahnhöfen, Flughafen- und Autobahnterminals ([2], [3], [4], [5]). Die strukturelle Ästhetik, die sich in schönen und raffinierten Objekten widerspiegelt, ist von großer Bedeutung in der Architektur selbst, als auch in der Welt des Ingenieurbaus [7]. Dieser Beitrag behandelt die Wahrnehmung ästhetischer Eigenschaften von Stahl-Glas-Elementen in Gebäuden - in Anbetracht ihrer Dimensionen, ihrer visueller Leichtigkeit, ihrer Textur, ihrer Reflexion, ihrer Transparenz, ihrer Farbe, ihres Lichts, ihrer Transluzenz und ihrer Anordnung.
