Rowland, Cambridge: Cambridge University Press. 1999. [pounds]50 For better and worse, architects owe their existence to Vitruvius. His De Architectura, arranged in ten chapters, or 'books', has been upheld for centuries as the architect's Bible. It has determined what architecture is, and consequently how architects should be educated to perform their role in society. Yet Vitruvius has achieved such influence, not because of his elegance as a writer, or his excellence as a thinker and designer (it has usually been held that he was none of these), but because his is the only surviving guide to antique buildings - that is how classical architecture was conceived and built.

66. Vitruvius Marcus vitruvius Pollio (born ca. 80/70 BC?; died ca. 25 BC) was a Roman writer, architect and engineer, active in the 1st century BC. http://www.mlahanas.de/Greeks/LX/Vitruvius.html

Vitruvius Marcus Vitruvius Pollio (born ca. 80/70 BC?; died ca. 25 BC) was a Roman writer, architect and engineer, active in the 1st century BC. Little is known about his life. Even his first name Marcus and his cognomen Pollio are uncertain. They are only mentioned by Cetius Faventinus. Most data about his life are extracted from his own work. Whether these writings were actually written by one author or whether they were compiled by later librarians and copyists, remains an open question. Design for a Vitruvian water-screwHe was born a free Roman citizen, most likely at Formiae in Campania. He is believed to have served in the Roman army in Spain and Gaul under Julius Caesar. He was probably one of the army engineers, constructing war machines for sieges. In later years he was employed by his sponsor, the emperor Augustus, entitled with a pension to guarantee his financial independence. His date of death is unknown, which suggests that he had enjoyed only little popularity during his lifetime. He is said to be the author of De architectura, known today as The Ten Books of Architecture, a treatise written of Latin and Greek on architecture, dedicated to the emperor Augustus. It is the only surviving major book on architecture from classical antiquity. Mainly known for his writings, Vitruvius was himself an architect. Frontinus mentions him in connection with the standard sizes of pipes (Aq. I.25). The only building, however, that we know Vitruvius to have worked on is, as he himself tells us (de Arch. V.i.6), a basilica at Fanum Fortunae, now the modern town of Fano. The basilica has disappeared so completely that its very site is a matter of conjecture.

VITRUVIUS: DE ARCHITECTURA Vitruvius Pollio (? 50 -26 B.C.) is the author of a remarkable book on the art of Architecture, which was published probably in 28 B.C., and was for the Romans and much later for the world of the classical Renaissance, the master treatise on the art of building. But it was far more than that, it ranges in its ten books over everything of interest and importance to the building trades, from the mixing of mortar from proper materials, to the acoustics in a stone threaten, and even to the art work which as fresco style was used to decorate gentlefolks' villas. There is little that Vitruvius did not touch on, one way or another. His books had a huge influence on the West since l500, and only well into the 20th century did its influence start to break down with the new ideas from the BauHaus and modernism, along with the use of steel as the primary building material for large edifices. If you see Post Offices everywhere with Roman imitation columns in front, that is a sign that Vitruvius has been there. Classicists tend to be literary snobs, and always remark that his writing "has no literary merit...". But his style is one of the few remaining examples of how Romans actually wrote down their information, how they documented their extensive knowledge in a dozen areas from construction of building, to medicine, to law. So I have made a selection of a few pages of Vitruvius as an example of that rare phenomenon "ordinary Latin writing". Caesar's commentaries are stylistically extraordinary, not at all what they seem to the student puzzling over the ablative absolutes and indirect discourse. Plautus has passages which even in verse are ordinary, but all is cast in a Grecizing play format, so you Ave to extract the ordinary wording from what is after all a comic play.

Contents Vitruvius Marcus Vitruvius Pollio was a Roman writer architect and engineer , active in the 1st century BC. He is the author of De Architectura, the Ten Books of Architecture, an ancient Roman treatise on architecture and perhaps the first work about this discipline. Mainly known for his writings, Vitruvius was himself an architect; Frontinus says he was in charge of the aqueducts of Rome. Among notable concepts contained in De Architectura (probably written between 23 and 27 B.C.), Vitruvius declares that fame depends on social relevance of the artist 's work, not on the work by itself. Vitruvius' work is one of many examples of Latin texts that owe their survival to the palace scriptorium[?] of Charlemagne in the early ninth century . (This activity of finding and recopying classical manuscripts is called the Carolingian Renaissance .) Many of the surviving manuscripts of Vitruvius' work derive from an existing manuscript that was written there, British Library manuscript Harley 2767. Vitruvius studied human proportions (third book) and his canones were later resumed in a very famous drawing by Leonardo da Vinci Homo Vitruvianus ). The 16th century architect

Vitruvius Fra Wikipedia, den frie encyklopedi G¥ til: navigasjon s¸k Marcus Vitruvius Pollio var en romersk arkitekt og ingeni¸r som levde i 1. ¥rhundre f.Kr. Han skrev verket De Architectura libri decem («Ti b¸ker om arkitektur»), som er det eldste kjente verket om arkitektur. B¸kene er skrevet mellom 27 og 23 f.Kr. De architectura fikk stor betydning for Renessansens gjenoppdagelse av klassisk arkitektur.

" ~ Notebooks of Leonardo Although made famous Renaissance artist Leonardo Da Vinci, the figure known as the Vitruvian Man is actually named for the man who created him, the Roman architect Vitruvius. Vitruvius, a proponent of the Sacred Geometry of Pythagoras, designed temples based on the proportions of the human body, believing them to be perfect. This perfection, wrote Vitruvius, was due to the fact that the extended limbs of a perfectly proportioned human fit into both the circle and the square. According to Pythagorian tradition, the circle represents the spiritual realm; the square, material existence, so the human body represented the perfect marriage of matter and spirit, which was is reflected in its proportions.
