Description

Vitruvius on Architecture brings together the wisdom of one of history's most influential Renaissance thinkers. Written by Vitruvius Pollio, this treatise on architecture was completed in late life and offers a unique blend of Greek theory and practical experience. The work is divided into ten books, covering topics such as town planning, materials, styles, construction, and machines for war. Vitruvius draws on his own experiences as an architect and engineer to provide insight into the design and execution of buildings, from temples to public buildings and houses. Published in 1962 by Harvard University Press, this edition is based on the Harleian Manuscript 2767 and features Vitruvius' original ideas on architecture that have had a lasting impact on the field.
