More Book Reviews Vitruvius's De architectura , consisting of ten volumina, or scrolls, is the only major work on architecture to survive from classical antiquity, and until the eighteenth century it was the text to which all other architectural treatises referred. While European classicists have focused on the factual truth of the text itself, English-speaking architects and architectural theorists have viewed it as a timeless source of valuable metaphors. Departing from both perspectives, Indra Kagis McEwen examines the work's meaning and significance in its own time. Vitruvius dedicated De architectura to his patron Augustus Caesar, the first Roman emperor, whose rise to power inspired its composition near the end of the first century B.C.

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.

13. Bambooweb: Vitruvius Marcus vitruvius Pollio was a Roman writer, architect and engineer, active in the 1st century BC. He was the author of De Arc http://www.bambooweb.com/articles/v/i/Vitruvius.html

Vitruvius Marcus Vitruvius Pollio was a Roman writer architect and engineer , active in the 1st century BC . He was the author of De Architectura , known today as The Ten Books of Architecture, a treatise in Latin 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 . He is often colloquially referred to as the first architect Among notable concepts contained in De Architectura (probably written between and 23 BC ), Vitruvius declares that quality depends on the social relevance of the artist 's work, not on the form or workmanship of the work itself. Perhaps the most famous declaration from De Architectura is one still bandied in architectural circles: "Well building hath three conditions: firmness, commodity, and delight." This quote is taken from Sir Henry Wotton 's translation of 1624, and there is some debate about whether it is a direct translation or a paraphrase of Vitruvius' meaning. Nonetheless, it is most often attributed to Vitruvius, rather than to Wotton. Vitruvius' work is one of many examples of Latin texts that owe their survival to the palace scriptorium of Charlemagne in the early 9th century . (This activity of finding and recopying classical manuscripts is part of what is called the Carolingian Renaissance .) Many of the surviving manuscripts of Vitruvius' work derive from an existing manuscript that was written there
