Description

Vitruvius: Ten Books on Architecture A comprehensive and influential work on architecture, first published in English after more than half a century. This translation includes previously unpublished examples from archaeological sites discovered since World War II, offering new insights into Vitruvius' style and thought. The Architecture libri decem is the single most important work of architectural history in the Western world, shaping architecture and the image of the architect from the Renaissance to the present day. A new edition featuring Rowland's translation and Howe's critical commentary and illustrations provides a fresh understanding of Vitruvius as an inventive and creative thinker. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and principles of architecture.
