The only surviving comprehensive architectural treatise from classical antiquity, restored in its definitive English edition.
Written by the Roman military engineer Marcus Vitruvius Pollio between roughly 30 and 20 BC and dedicated to the Emperor Augustus, De Architectura is the foundational text of Western architecture. It is the book that codified the canonical triad of firmitas, utilitas, and venustas (firmness, commodity, and delight), formulated the analogy between the proportions of the human body and the proportions of a well-designed temple (the conceptual seed of Leonardo's Vitruvian Man), and transmitted the Greek classical orders to two thousand years of Western practice.
This is the celebrated 1914 Harvard University Press translation by Morris Hicky Morgan, Late Professor of Classical Philology at Harvard, completed posthumously by Albert A. Howard with illustrations supervised by Herbert Langford Warren, founder of Harvard's School of Architecture. Based on Valentine Rose's authoritative 1899 Leipzig text, Morgan's rendering preserves the genuine voice of a working Roman engineer rather than dressing it in Ciceronian elegance.
Inside the ten books:
For preservationists, classical architects, art historians, archaeologists, and students of design, this volume is indispensable. Through Alberti, Serlio, Palladio, Inigo Jones, Wren, and Jefferson, Vitruvius shaped every classical revival from the Renaissance to the American Beaux-Arts. Warren's carefully prepared plates reconstruct the lost original drawings with scholarly precision, presenting the canonical Caryatides at Delphi, the Tower of the Winds in Athens, the Basilica at Pompeii, the Theatre at Aspendus, the Greek House at Pergamum, and the construction of the Water Screw.
De Architectura remains the irreplaceable source on Roman engineering and the headwater of the entire Western classical tradition in built form.
