LIH Landscape Information Hub: Vitruvius Ten Books Home Up Definitions History ... Origins of landscape Architecture Vitruvius The Ten Books on Architecture (Translated by Morris Hicky Morgan, in 1914, edited by Tom Turner in 2000. A full online translation of Vitruvius is available at the Latin Library , and there is discussion on the Britanica website 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. Book 1 The Preface is used by the author as an opportunity to fawn on his emperor.

No. 580: VITRUVIUS by John H. Lienhard Click here for audio of Episode 580. Today, we learn that to hold knowledge, we must also add to it. The University of Houston's College of Engineering presents this series about the machines that make our civilization run, and the people whose ingenuity created them. I n the years just before Christ was born, the chief engineer of the Roman world was a man named Marcus Vitruvius Pollio. Vitruvius began as an architect and engineer under Julius Caesar. Later he took charge of Octavian's siege engines. And, toward the end his life, he wrote a ten-volume account of known technology under Octavian's patronage. Here we see how much more than a mere armorer he was. But we also see the weakness of Roman technology. Vitruvius's scope is astonishing. Historians call him the great Roman architect. Most of his books do deal with buildings. But look more closely: He talks about city planning, building materials, and acoustics. He has a lot to say about timekeeping. He explains water clocks and sundials. He describes all kinds of pumps. Before he's done, he's written about astronomy, medicine, music, the arts even contract law.

Choose another writer in this calendar: by name: A B C D ... Z by birthday from the calendar Credits and feedback TimeSearch for Books and Writers by Bamber Gascoigne Vitruvius (fl. 46-30 B.C.) Roman architect, engineer, and theorist, whose textbook De Architectura libri decem (Ten Books on Architecture) is the only complete treatise on architecture to survive from Classical Antiquity. It influenced deeply from the Early Renaissance onwards artists, thinkers, and architects, among them Leon Battista Alberti (1404-72), Leonardo Da Vinci (1452-1519), and Michelangelo (1475-1564). Vitruvius was not a master of style - "he has all the marks of one unused to composition, to whom writing is a painful task," said later Morris Hicky Morgan, who translated the book into English. "It was a wise and useful provision of the ancients to transmit their thoughts to posterity by recording them in treatises, so that they should not be lost, but, being developed in succeeding generations through publication in books, should gradually attain in later times, to the highest refinement of learning. And so the ancients deserve no ordinary, but unending thanks, because they did not pass on in envious silence, but took care that their ideas of every kind should be transmitted to the future in their writings."

vitruvius (Cesare Cesariano, Como 1521) This is a profusely illustrated edition of the most famous of antique texts on architecture. It was known throughout the Middle Ages, in multiple copies and probably versions. Unfortunately, it reached the Renaissance without illustrations. For such a subject, this was a grave drawback - the more so since Vitruvius' Latin was not of the easiest (cf. Alberti's comment that 'The Greeks thought he was writing in Latin, and the Latins in Greek"). Although the dearth of original illustrations, and the difficulty of the language, meant impenetrability, it also gave marvellous freedom to the Renaissance. Various of the editors/illustrators of Vitruvius were able to see antique architecture in their own image, as it were; so that Renaissance editions of Vitruvius give us a clear picture of antique architecture in their own image, as it were; so that Renaissance editions of Vitruvius give us a clear picture of just how narrow was the renaissance' perception of some aspects of antique architecture. The illustrator who provided these woodblocks very considerately labelled all of them, thereby relieving this (relieved) Web maintainer of the need to provide a database of them...

Vitruvius Uit Wikipedia, de vrije encyclopedie Ga naar: navigatie zoeken Marcus Vitruvius Poll(i)o v. Chr. ) was een Romeins militair en architect . Hij is vooral bekend doordat hij de auteur is van een standaardwerk over de bouwkunst De architectura Over de Bouwkunst ). Over zijn leven is vrijwel niets bekend. Hij is eigenlijk alleen maar bekend van dit ene werk, waarin een aantal belangrijke theorie«n omtrent het bouwen van gebouwen geponeerd worden. Hierbij moet goed in gedachten worden gehouden dat de genoemde stellingen veeleer een samenvatting zijn van wat indertijd gangbaar was in de bouwkunde, dan originele visies, maar aangezien zijn boek een van de weinige is over klassieke bouwkunde die zijn overgeleverd, is de invloed op de Europese bouwkunst enorm; hij reikt ook tot aan de ontwerpers van steden en de tuin- en landschapsarchitectuur Een van zijn belangrijkste stellingen is dat de lengte , de breedte , de hoogte en de diepte van een gebouw de menselijke maat (de verhoudingen van het menselijk lichaam) dienen te weerspiegelen. Leonardo da Vinci 's (1452-1519) beroemde tekening Uomini universali van het menselijk lichaam, passend in een cirkel en een vierkant, is gebaseerd op Vitruvius' theorie.
