    Extractions: VITRUVIUS (MARCUS VITRUVIUS POLL 10), Roman architect and engineer, author of a celebrated work on architecture .. Nothing is known concerning him except what can be gathered from his own writings. Owing to the discovery of inscriptions relating to the Gens Vitruvia at Formiae in Campania (Mola di Gaeta ), it has been suggested that he was a native of that city,. and he has been less reasonably connected with Verona on the strength of an existing arch of the 3rd century, which is inscribed with the name of a later architect of the same family name- "Lucius Vitruvius Cerdo, a freedman of Lucius." From Vitruvius himself we learn that he was appointed, in the reign of Augustus, together with three others, a superintendent of balistae and other military engines, a post which, he says, he owed to the friendly influence of the emperor's sister, probably Octavia De Architectura, i. pref.). In another passage (v. I) he describes a basilica and adjacent aedes Augusti, of which he was, the architect. From viii. 3 it has been supposed that he had served in Africa in the time of Julius Caesar, probably as a military engineer, but the words hardly

    Extractions: VITRUVIUS: DE ARCHITECTURA Vitruvius Pollio (? 50 -26 B.C.) is the author of a remarkable book on the art of Architecture, which was published probably in 28 B.C., and was for the Romans and much later for the world of the classical Renaissance, the master treatise on the art of building. But it was far more than that, it ranges in its ten books over everything of interest and importance to the building trades, from the mixing of mortar from proper materials, to the acoustics in a stone threaten, and even to the art work which as fresco style was used to decorate gentlefolks' villas. There is little that Vitruvius did not touch on, one way or another. His books had a huge influence on the West since l500, and only well into the 20th century did its influence start to break down with the new ideas from the BauHaus and modernism, along with the use of steel as the primary building material for large edifices. If you see Post Offices everywhere with Roman imitation columns in front, that is a sign that Vitruvius has been there. Classicists tend to be literary snobs, and always remark that his writing "has no literary merit...". But his style is one of the few remaining examples of how Romans actually wrote down their information, how they documented their extensive knowledge in a dozen areas from construction of building, to medicine, to law. So I have made a selection of a few pages of Vitruvius as an example of that rare phenomenon "ordinary Latin writing". Caesar's commentaries are stylistically extraordinary, not at all what they seem to the student puzzling over the ablative absolutes and indirect discourse. Plautus has passages which even in verse are ordinary, but all is cast in a Grecizing play format, so you Ave to extract the ordinary wording from what is after all a comic play.

    Extractions: Vitruvius Marcus Vitruvius Pollio (born ca. 80/70 BC?; died ca. 25 BC) was a Roman writer, architect and engineer, active in the 1st century BC. Little is known about his life. Even his first name Marcus and his cognomen Pollio are uncertain. They are only mentioned by Cetius Faventinus. Most data about his life are extracted from his own work. Whether these writings were actually written by one author or whether they were compiled by later librarians and copyists, remains an open question. Design for a Vitruvian water-screwHe was born a free Roman citizen, most likely at Formiae in Campania. He is believed to have served in the Roman army in Spain and Gaul under Julius Caesar. He was probably one of the army engineers, constructing war machines for sieges. In later years he was employed by his sponsor, the emperor Augustus, entitled with a pension to guarantee his financial independence. His date of death is unknown, which suggests that he had enjoyed only little popularity during his lifetime. He is said to be the author of De architectura, known today as The Ten Books of Architecture, a treatise written of Latin and Greek on architecture, dedicated to the emperor Augustus. It is the only surviving major book on architecture from classical antiquity. Mainly known for his writings, Vitruvius was himself an architect. Frontinus mentions him in connection with the standard sizes of pipes (Aq. I.25). The only building, however, that we know Vitruvius to have worked on is, as he himself tells us (de Arch. V.i.6), a basilica at Fanum Fortunae, now the modern town of Fano. The basilica has disappeared so completely that its very site is a matter of conjecture.

    Extractions: I know it's impolitic to ask people what their poetic allusions are supposed to mean, but your latest missive is a bit unclear, even from a poetic perspective. What would you have us make of the Kahn quote that you provided from Scully? It would be interesting to hear what anyone else, Scully included, has made of that particular quote. Your notion that the NT is to be found, buried in the snow, as a trope on Kahn's quote seemed to me a little elliptical. Is this supposed to comment on Kahn's self-conception as regards his Jewish identity? It strikes me that the clearest thing one can say about Kahn's explorations of his own social/ethnic/religious identity is that he spent a great amount of time and effort working on Jewish-related projects (not just the crucial Hurva synagogue plans, but also the Trenton Jewish Community Center, the Mikveh Israel Synagogue (Philadelphia), Mechanical Engineering Building (Tel Aviv University), and the Memorial to Six Million Jewish Martyrs).

53. Vitruvius' Roman Theatre
    The most authoritative source of information on Roman architecture is the ten book treatise, De Architectura by Marcus vitruvius Pollio.  
    http://www.wayneturney.20m.com/vitruvius.htm
    
    Extractions: The most authoritative source of information on Roman architecture is the ten book treatise, De Architectura by Marcus Vitruvius Pollio. Using both extant treatises on architecture and his own experience as an architect and builder, Vitruvius wrote a detailed study of existing buildings and made recommendations about how to build new ones. The fifth book deals with the theater. In the fourth chapter he discusses such subjects as site selection, foundations, and acoustics. The sixth chapter is concerned with the auditorium and the stage building. He even includes sections on scenery and scene shifting by means of triangular prisms (periaktoi), etc. The publication of De Architectura in 1486 greatly influenced Renaissance theorists and architects, especially Andrea Palladio in constructing the Teatro Olympico in Vicenza which still stands.

    Extractions: "The situation produces the philosophy, and that's the best sort, the one that flows from the situation".. Friedrich Schroeder Sonnenstern Pancho Guedes is the father, the inventor of all the art works. He cannot tell the difference between painting, sculpture and architecture. He does all three with intermittent outbursts of success and notoriousness. He is obsessive and difficult. He sometimes works until he collapses. He believes it is possible to be a Renaissance man in all this decadence and he has literary pretensions. At home he is called Dada by his children and all their friends, which pleases him no end. is the spirit of Pancho Guedes , first revealed internationally in the pages of the Architectural Review. It was discovered by Banham who descended with him, to the bar basement at Queen Anne's Gate in 1960. It is the name that persists in frequent adverts and assessments. A. d'Alpoim Guedes
