Virtruvius: the ten books on architecture - Gyan Books
About The Book: The Ten Books on Architecture*by Vitruvius, written in the 1st century BCE, is the oldest surviving treatise on architecture. Covering topics such as design principles, materials, engineering, and city planning, it defines architecture’s three key elements: **firmitas** (strength), **utilitas** (utility), and **venustas** (beauty). The work profoundly influenced Renaissance architects like Leonardo da Vinci and Palladio. Morris Hicky Morgan’s 1914 English translation made Vitruvius’s insights accessible, preserving its importance in architectural theory and classical scholarship.
