    Extractions: A B C D ... Z by birthday from the calendar Credits and feedback Vitruvius (fl. 46-30 B.C.) Roman architect, engineer, and theorist, whose textbook De Architectura libri decem (Ten Books on Architecture) is the only complete treatise on architecture to survive from Classical Antiquity. It influenced deeply from the Early Renaissance onwards artists, thinkers, and architects, among them Leon Battista Alberti (1404-72), Leonardo Da Vinci (1452-1519), and Michelangelo (1475-1564). Vitruvius was not a master of style - "he has all the marks of one unused to composition, to whom writing is a painful task," said later Morris Hicky Morgan, who translated the book into English. "It was a wise and useful provision of the ancients to transmit their thoughts to posterity by recording them in treatises, so that they should not be lost, but, being developed in succeeding generations through publication in books, should gradually attain in later times, to the highest refinement of learning. And so the ancients deserve no ordinary, but unending thanks, because they did not pass on in envious silence, but took care that their ideas of every kind should be transmitted to the future in their writings." (from The Ten Books on Architecture , trans. by Morris Hicky Morgan, 1914)

    http://www.du.edu/~etuttle/classics/analemma.htm
    
    Extractions: In De Architectura , Book IX, Chapter VII, Vitruvius explains how to construct a diagram called the analemma , from which a sundial for any season of the year can be laid out. My text is that of the Loeb Classical Library, edited and translated by Frank Granger, pages 248-255, illustrated by Plate L. The translation proceeds well through the construction of the first part of the diagram, that shown in Plate L, but then falls apart, as the words receive no adequate interpretation. In this article, I want to attempt to explain clearly what Vitruvius was about, and show how to complete the analemma . I shall lay out the drawing in a modern style for ease of comprehension. The exact form of Vitruvius's analemma cannot be determined from the text., but this construction was well-known at the time, and Vitruvius is merely explaining it for the student. Diodorus, a contemporary of Vitruvius and a maker of sundials, wrote on the analemma , as later did Ptolemy. Ptolemy's work is known only in fragments, but involved the orthogonal projection of the celestial sphere on three mutually perpendicular planes [Ivor Thomas, Greek Mathematical Works

48. A Green Vitruvius - Principles And Practice Of Sustainable Architectural Design

    http://www.jxj.com/catofpub/green_vitruvius.html
    
    Extractions: Two thousand years ago the Roman architect Marcus Vitruvius Pollio wrote the first books on architecture and established the concept of the pattern book offering design principles and solutions that is still familiar today. This publication is a green pattern book for today. A Green Vitruvius is a wonderful resource that certainly lives up to its subtitle … Environmental Building News … the book provides an excellent holistic approach to the subject … Eco Tech … The Architectural Review Green, or sustainable, or environmentally-friendly architecture is not simply an environmental benefit. It is place-sensitive; in a globalising world it leads to location-specific architecture by responding to local climatic conditions and using local materials. It also offers better architectural quality with more natural and fewer artificial inputs; not only is less more, less is also beautiful.

In Roman times the architect was, from the word’s Greek etymology, a ‘chief technician’. The Ten Books' Contents list reveals that most aspects of engineering, including harbours, site planning, clocks, aqueducts, pumps and siege engines, come with the author's technical scope. Only a tiny proportion of these subjects come within the twenty-first century scope of ‘architecture’. Vitruvius Pollio’s treatise De Architectura , was written circa 27 BC and is the only book of its kind to survive from antiquity. These online extracts from Vitruvius comprise the first Book and his comments on what we would now classify as garden design.

O jeho mládí nebo osobním životì nevíme témìø nic. Vstoupil do vojska, kde sloužil obìma výše jmenovaným vládcùm ve vysoké funkci praefectus fabrum (velitel technického sboru). Nìkdy kolem roku 25 pøed n.l (Ottùv slovník nauèný však mluví o roce 13 pøed n.l., tak nevím) sepsal Vitruvius dílo, které ho proslavilo. Neslo jméno Architectura (Stavitelství) a jeho rozsah èinil 10 knih. Autor zde využil jednak své zkušenosti, ale také z velké èásti vycházel z odborných knih starých Øekù. Dílo bylo vìnováno Augustovi. Je velmi cenné z toho dùvodu, že to je prakticky jediný øímský spis tohoto druhu, který se zachoval. Na mnoha místech díla se Vitruvius odvolává na øecké autory, které však pravdìpodobnì moc neèetl. Mnohokrát se také chlubí svým vzdìláním, které však nebylo nikterak vynikající. Jeho styl je celkovì vzato špatný a kniha se neète zrovna nejlépe, je považováno za pomìrnì nejasnou. Pøesto se však dílo èetlo hojnì, ve tøetím století z nìj poøídili kritický spis. Spis Architectura byl hojnì èten ve støedovìku i pozdìji a svou historickou hodnotu má dodnes. Dílo samotné neobsahuje pouze zmínky o architektuøe, ale zabývá se také napøíklad strojní technikou.

    Extractions: VITRUVIUS The treatise De Architectura Libri Decem is dedicated to Augustus. Lost for a long time, it was rediscovered in the 15th century at St Gall; the oldest existing MS. dates from the 10th century. From the early Renaissance down to a comparatively recent time the influence of this treatise has been remarkably great. Throughout the period of the classical revival in all probability, constituted an essential feature in the Scottish forts. Except on the hypothesis of buttresses of a similar kind, it is impossible to explain the vast quantities of loose stones which are found both inside and outside many of the vitrified walls.

    ONTWERPSYSTEMEN EN vitruvius TERMINOLOGIE. *). MC Kosian Inleiding. Bij strikte vertaling lijken er op deze manier inconsequenties in vitruvius op te treden.  
    http://www.xs4all.nl/~mkosian/ontwerp.html
    
    Extractions: M.C. Kosian "Architecture depends on Order, Arrangement, Eurythmy, Symmetry, Propriety, and Economy.", aldus Vitruvius I.II.1. Vitruvius gebruikt hier termen, waarvan enkelen ons bekend in de oren klinken: "Order", "Symmetry" en "Economy" bijvoorbeeld. Voor ontwerpstudies naar klassieke architectuur is het gebruik van onze huidige definitie van die termen echter een handicap; veel van onze termen komen qua definitie niet meer overeen met de klassieke betekenis, gezien wat er in de klassieke tijd aan bouwwerken is neergezet. Zo is ons begrip "Orde" een puur stilistische aangelegenheid: we spreken van een Dorische Orde, een, Ionische Orde etc., zonder dat dit een verdere invloed heeft op het ontwerp dan het gebruik van specifieke ornamenten. Ook onze betekenis van "Symmetrie" is beperkter dan de klassieke betekenis; ons begrip symmetrie is praktisch altijd spiegel- symmetrie, maar een gebouw dat door Vitruvius zelf als schoolvoorbeeld van zuivere architectuur wordt genoemd, het Erechtheion in Athene is alles behalve symmetrisch. Bij bestudering van klassieke architectuur moeten we dus uitgaan van een andere inhoud van de termen uit Vitruvius I.II.1. Mijn inziens zouden we Vitruvius I.II.1 eigenlijk als volgt moeten lezen: "Klassieke architectuur is afhankelijk van Interne proporties, Externe proporties, "Handed-ness", en (Administratieve) calculatie." Deze begrippen staan niet los van elkaar, maar vormen een hecht geheel.

She was launched in December of 1943 and used in the sugar trade with Cuba. In March of 1944, the Vitruvius and the S.S. David O. Saylor set sail for Liverpool, England to join a fleet of ships to participate in the D-Day invasion of Normandy. On July 16, 1944, the S.S. Vitruvius and Saylor were partially sunk to form the "Gooseberry" breakwater off the coast of Normandy. The S.S. Vitruvius lies off the coast of Normandy, France. At the time of her sinking, she was still visible above the water. How much is left of her now is unknown. None available. However, since all the McCloskey ships are identical, you can see photos of the other ships to see what theVitruvius looked like.
