    Extractions: VITRUVIUS (MARCUS VITRUVIUS POLL 10), Roman architect and engineer, author of a celebrated work on architecture .. Nothing is known concerning him except what can be gathered from his own writings. Owing to the discovery of inscriptions relating to the Gens Vitruvia at Formiae in Campania (Mola di Gaeta ), it has been suggested that he was a native of that city,. and he has been less reasonably connected with Verona on the strength of an existing arch of the 3rd century, which is inscribed with the name of a later architect of the same family name- "Lucius Vitruvius Cerdo, a freedman of Lucius." From Vitruvius himself we learn that he was appointed, in the reign of Augustus, together with three others, a superintendent of balistae and other military engines, a post which, he says, he owed to the friendly influence of the emperor's sister, probably Octavia De Architectura, i. pref.). In another passage (v. I) he describes a basilica and adjacent aedes Augusti, of which he was, the architect. From viii. 3 it has been supposed that he had served in Africa in the time of Julius Caesar, probably as a military engineer, but the words hardly

    Extractions: History Theory Sustainability Books ... Definitions (Translated by Morris Hicky Morgan, in 1914, edited by Tom Turner in 2000). This is the first and most famous text in the history of western landscape architecture, architecture, enginering and town planning. In Roman times the architect was, from the word’s Greek etymology, a ‘chief technician’. The Ten Books' Contents list reveals that most aspects of engineering, including harbours, site planning, clocks, aqueducts, pumps and siege engines, come with the author's technical scope. Only a tiny proportion of these subjects come within the twenty-first century scope of ‘architecture’. Vitruvius Pollio’s treatise De Architectura , was written circa 27 BC and is the only book of its kind to survive from antiquity. These online extracts from Vitruvius comprise the first Book and his comments on what we would now classify as garden design. Ian Thompson re-interpreted Vitruvius for modern landscape architecture in his book on Ecology, Community and Delight: sources of value in landcape architecture

Posted by Migs Vitruvius at 11:48 AM comments Links to this post The 'Vitruvian Man' is a famous drawing with accompanying notes by Leonardo da Vinci made around the year 1492 in one of his journals. It depicts a naked male figure in two superimposed positions with his arms and legs apart and simultaneously inscribed in a circle and square. The drawing and text are sometimes called the Canon of Proportions or, less often, Proportions of Man. It is on display in the Gallerie dell' Accademia in Venice, Italy. This image provides the perfect example of Leonardo's keen interest in proportion. In addition, this picture represents a cornerstone of Leonardo's attempts to relate man to nature. Encyclopaedia Britannica online states, "Leonardo envisaged the great picture chart of the human body he had produced through his anatomical drawings and Vitruvian Man as a cosmografia del minor mondo (cosmography of the microcosm). He believed the workings of the human body to be an analogy for the workings of the universe." It is also believed by some that Leonardo symbolised the material existence by the square and spiritual existence by the circle. Thus he attempted to depict the correlation between these two aspects of human existence.

Vitruvius levde under det f¶rsta ¥rhundradet f.Kr. och m¶jligen en bit in p¥ f¶rsta ¥rhundradet e.Kr. Det ¤r omdiskuterat i vilken omfattning Vitruvius' texter anv¤ndes praktiskt under antiken .

Vitruvius' verk ¤r ett exempel p¥ latinska texter som ¶verlevt tack vare avskrifter fr¥n 800-talet under Karl den store Vitruvius argumenterar f¶r att en arkitekt m¥ste vara mycket mer ¤n bara byggnadskonstrukt¶r. Han m¥ste ¤ven ha kunskap om geografi geologi geometri anatomi och till och med musik f¶r att bli framg¥ngsrik. F¶r ren¤ssansen utgjorde de d¤remot grunden f¶r periodens syn p¥ arkitektur, och Vitruvius verk var bland dem som trycktes redan under 1400-talet . Man har ansett att detta kom att utg¶ra idealet under ren¤ssansen och influerade bland annat Leonardo da Vinci , som ritade sin Vitruvianska man efter Vitruvius anatomiska beskrivningar.

    Extractions: welcome history - vitruvius - other men ... about this site Marcus Vitruvius was a Roman architect in 1 BCE and authored the famous treatise on architecture entitled De Architectura. The treatise is broken into 10 different books, each dealing with aspects of architecture, city planning, and machines. His book was the authority on these subjects up through the Renaissance, and still has influences in modern architecture today. It is in the beginning of Book III, in his discussion on the building of temples, where the concept of Virtruvian Man emerges: Similarly, in the members of a temple there ought to be the greatest harmony in the symmetrical relations of the different parts to the general magnitude of the whole. Then again, in the human body the central point is naturally the navel. For if a man can be placed flat on his back, with his hands and feet extended, and a pair of compasses centered at his navel, the fingers and toes of his two hands and feet will touch the circumference of a circle described therefrom. And just as the human body yields a circular outline, so too a square figure may be found from it. For if we measure the distance from the soles of the feet to the top of the head, and then apply that measure to the outstretched arms, the breadth will be found to be the same as the height, as in the case of plane surfaces which are completely square.

    The most authoritative source of information on Roman architecture is the ten book treatise, De Architectura by Marcus vitruvius Pollio.  
    http://www.wayneturney.20m.com/vitruvius.htm
    
    Extractions: The most authoritative source of information on Roman architecture is the ten book treatise, De Architectura by Marcus Vitruvius Pollio. Using both extant treatises on architecture and his own experience as an architect and builder, Vitruvius wrote a detailed study of existing buildings and made recommendations about how to build new ones. The fifth book deals with the theater. In the fourth chapter he discusses such subjects as site selection, foundations, and acoustics. The sixth chapter is concerned with the auditorium and the stage building. He even includes sections on scenery and scene shifting by means of triangular prisms (periaktoi), etc. The publication of De Architectura in 1486 greatly influenced Renaissance theorists and architects, especially Andrea Palladio in constructing the Teatro Olympico in Vicenza which still stands.
