"Ten Books on Architecture" is an ancient Roman treatise written by Vitruvius Polius, a famous Roman architect and engineer. In his work, he demonstrates the enormous influence of ancient ideals on the construction process, considering architecture as a combination of beauty, strength and use. Vitruvius explains various aspects of construction, from choosing a site for a structure to details of decoration.
This book is considered one of the fundamental works of architectural theory and remains relevant to this day. It not only reflects the views of the Roman period, but also provides the reader with an opportunity to better understand the principles and concepts used in architecture. The "Ten Books on Architecture" became an important source of refinement of the well-known principle of the Three Relations of Vitruvius, which includes requirements for buildings based on proportions, strength and beauty.
This book is a must for draftsmen, engineers, and anyone interested in architecture as both an art and a science.
