Ga naar: navigatie zoeken Marcus Vitruvius Poll(i)o v. Chr. ) was een Romeins militair en architect . Hij is vooral bekend doordat hij de auteur is van een standaardwerk over de bouwkunst De architectura Over de Bouwkunst ). Over zijn leven is vrijwel niets bekend. Hij is eigenlijk alleen maar bekend van dit ene werk, waarin een aantal belangrijke theorie«n omtrent het bouwen van gebouwen geponeerd worden. Hierbij moet goed in gedachten worden gehouden dat de genoemde stellingen veeleer een samenvatting zijn van wat indertijd gangbaar was in de bouwkunde, dan originele visies, maar aangezien zijn boek een van de weinige is over klassieke bouwkunde die zijn overgeleverd, is de invloed op de Europese bouwkunst enorm; hij reikt ook tot aan de ontwerpers van steden en de tuin- en landschapsarchitectuur Een van zijn belangrijkste stellingen is dat de lengte , de breedte , de hoogte en de diepte van een gebouw de menselijke maat (de verhoudingen van het menselijk lichaam) dienen te weerspiegelen. Leonardo da Vinci 's (1452-1519) beroemde tekening Uomini universali van het menselijk lichaam, passend in een cirkel en een vierkant, is gebaseerd op Vitruvius' theorie.

S.S. Vitruvius
The S.S. Vitruvius was the second concrete ship built by McCloskey and Company in Tampa, Florida. 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.
Location
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.
Photos
None available. However, since all the McCloskey ships are identical, you can see photos of the other ships to see what theVitruvius looked like.

D E A RCHITECTURA L IBRI D ECEM by Marcus Vitruvius Pollio
(c. first century BC
B OOK IX, I NTRODUCTION In the case of Archimedes, although he made many wonderful discoveries of diverse kinds, yet of them all, the following, which I shall relate, seems to have been the result of a boundless ingenuity. Hiero L IBER N ONUS , P RAEFATIO R CHIMEDIS vero cum multa miranda inventa, et varia fuerint, ex omnibus etiam infinita solertia id, quod exponam, videtur esse expressum nimium. Hiero enim Syracusis auctus regia potestate, rebus bene gestis cum auream coronam votivam Diis immortalibus in quodam fano constituisset ponendam, manu pretio locavit faciendam, et aurum ad sacomam appendit redemptori. Is ad tempus opus manufactum subtiliter regi approbavit, et ad sacomam pondus coronae visus est praestitisse. Taking this as the beginning of his discovery, it is said that he made two masses of the same weight as the crown, one of gold and the other of silver. After making them he filled a large vessel with water to the very brim, and dropped the mass of silver into it. As much water ran out as was equal in bulk to that of the silver sunk in the vessel. Then, taking out the mass, he poured back the lost quantity of water, using a pint measure, until it was level with the brim as it had been before. Thus he found the weight of silver corresponding to a definite quantity of water. Tum vero ex eo inventionis congressu duas dicitur fecisse massas aequo pondere, quo etiam fuerat corona, unam ex auro, alteram ex argento. Cum ita fecisset, vas amplum ad summa labra implevit aquae, in quo demisit argenteam massam, cuius quanta magnitudo in vase depressa est, tantum aquae effluxit, ita exempta massa, quanto minus factum fuerat refudit, sextario mensus, ut eodem modo quo prius fuerat, ad labra aequaretur. Ita ex eo invenit quantum ad certum pondus argenti certa aquae mensura responderet.

    Vitruvius's theories of beauty
    Enlarge Find more Vitruvian images in the Vitruvius Gallery Is it possible to identify a universal sense of beauty - a definition of beauty that can be applied to all people at all times? Don't our ideas of beauty shift and fight and transform themselves in different times and spaces? This image is by Marcus Vitruvius, the famous Ancient Roman architect. Vituvius's most famous work is entitled Ten Books on Architecture, and was written in approximately 20-30 BC. It is the only text on the subject of architecture to survive antiquity. It was also one of the first texts in history to draw the connection between the architecture of the body and that of the building. Vitruvius believed that an architect should focus on three central themes when preparing a design for a building: firmitas (strength), utilitas (functionality), and venustas (beauty). But the theory of venustas (or beauty) is a very complicated one. Vitruvius thought that a timeless notion of beauty could be learnt from the 'truth of nature', that nature's designs were based on universal laws of proportion and symmetry. He believed that the body's proportions could be used as a model of natural proportional perfection. He wrote of the way ancient scholars examined many examples of 'well shaped men' and discovered that these bodies shared certain proportions. He showed that the 'ideal' human body fitted precisely into both a circle and a square, and he thus illustrated the link that he believed existed between perfect geometric forms and the perfect body. In this way, the body was seen as a living rulebook, containing the fixed and faultless laws set down by nature.

The Analemmas of Vitruvius and Ptolemy
Posted by: Ron D. in sundials astronomy Have you ever had to calculate the positions of astronomical objects? Orbital calculations relative to an observer on the Earth require derivations and time-consuming solutions of spherical trigonometric equations. And yet, these kinds of calculations were accomplished in the days prior to the advent of calculators or computers! For example, to find the zenith angle (angle to overhead) and azimuth (angle from North) of the sun at any day and time of the year for any location on Earth, the laws of spherical trigonometry produce the formulas below. Here the solar declination δ is a function of the solar longitude λ and ecliptic angle ε as shown in the figure to the left. algebra analemmas The shadow of the tip of a sundial will trace out an arc over the course of a day

    Vitruvius The Ten Books on Architecture
    (Translated by Morris Hicky Morgan, in 1914, edited by Tom Turner in 2000). This is the first and most famous text in the history of western landscape architecture, architecture, enginering and town planning. 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. Ian Thompson re-interpreted Vitruvius for modern landscape architecture in his book on Ecology, Community and Delight: sources of value in landcape architecture

    ONTWERPSYSTEMEN EN VITRUVIUS' TERMINOLOGIE. *)
    M.C. Kosian
    Inleiding
    "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.
