Vitruvius: The Ten Books On Architecture is a comprehensive work on the principles and practices of architecture, written by the ancient Roman architect and engineer, Vitruvius. Originally written in Latin in the 1st century BC, the book has been translated into English by Morris Hicky Morgan in 1914. The book is divided into ten chapters, each of which covers a different aspect of architecture, including the design of temples, public buildings, and private houses, as well as the use of materials, construction techniques, and the role of the architect in society. Vitruvius also discusses the importance of symmetry, proportion, and beauty in architecture, and the book contains numerous illustrations and diagrams to illustrate his points. The book is considered a classic work on architecture and has influenced architects and builders for centuries. This Is A New Release Of The Original 1914 Edition. This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.

Vitruvius skrift ger oss en inblick i antikens synsätt och en förklaring till den grund arkitekturen och byggnadskonsten står på. Trots att Vitruvius avslutade sin bok ca 10 f Kr. för mer än 2000 år sedan, är texten levande och begriplig, den talar till oss så att vi förstår. Vi överraskas av att han introducerar begrepp och kunskap som vi idag använder oss av utan att kanske förstå bakgrunden till. Han beskriver hur man konstruerar bostadshus, lantgårdar och tempel liksom stora projekt som badanläggningar, hamnar och städer. Johan Mårtelius, professor och arkitekturhistoriker, introducerar Vitruvius och har granskat utgåvan.

In De architectura (c.40 BC), Vitruvius discusses in ten encyclopedic chapters aspects of Roman architecture, engineering and city planning. Vitruvius also included a section on human proportions. Because it is the only antique treatise on architecture to have survived, De architectura has been an invaluable source of information for scholars. The rediscovery of Vitruvius during the Renaissance greatly fuelled the revival of classicism during that and subsequent periods. Numerous architectural treatises were based in part or inspired by Vitruvius, beginning with Leon Battista Alberti's De re aedificatoria (1485).
