In "An Abridgment of the Architecture of Vitruvius," the esteemed Roman architect and engineer Vitruvius Pollio distills core principles of architecture from his comprehensive treatise, "De Architectura." This work is characterized by its blend of practical guidelines and philosophical musings, embodying the intersection of art and science in the architectural realm. Vitruvius emphasizes the triad of firmitas, utilitas, and venustas'Äîstrength, utility, and beauty'Äîhallmarks that continue to inform architectural discourse. The text is richly imbued with historical context, reflecting the Roman architectural practices and the embryonic stages of urban planning, providing timeless insights that resonate with contemporary architects and scholars alike. Vitruvius, often regarded as the father of architecture, lived during a transformative period in Roman history, witnessing the transition from Republic to Empire. His professional background as a military engineer and architect likely shaped his pragmatic approach to building and design. His synthesis of Greek architectural knowledge and local Roman practices culminates in this abridgment, which serves both as a practical guide for builders and a philosophical treatise aiming to elevate architectural practice to an intellectual discipline. This abridgment is an essential read for anyone interested in the foundations of architectural theory, history, and practice. Vitruvius' insights offer invaluable lessons not just for architects, but also for historians, artists, and anyone passionate about the built environment. Delve into this work to uncover the enduring principles that have shaped architecture through the ages.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

An Abridgment of the Architecture of Vitruvius Containing a System of the Whole By Claude Perrault ARTICLE I. Of the great Merits of Vitruvius, and the Excellencies of his Works. here are so many things in the Works of Vitruvius that do not directly appertain to Architecture, that one would think they were less fitted to Instruct those that have a design to learn the Precepts of this Art, than to perswade the World that the Author was the most knowing Architect that ever was, and a Person of the greatest Merit: He had the Honour to serve Julius Cæsar and Augustus, the two Greatest and most Magnificent Princes of the World, in an Age when all things were come to the highest degree of Perfection. We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works. To ensure a high quality product, each title has been meticulously hand curated by our staff. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with a book that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic work, and that for you it becomes an enriching experience.

IT's related by Historians, That Men, who in former times inhabited Woods and Caverns like wild Beasts, first assembled themselves to make Houses and Cities, which was occasioned by a Forest that was set on fire, which drew all the Inhabitants together by its novelty and surprizing effects; so that many Men meeting together in the same place, they found out means, by helping one another, to harbour themselves more conveniently, than in Caves and under Trees; so that it is pretended, that Architecture was the Beginning and Original of all other Arts. For Men seeing that they had success in Building, which necessity made them invent, they had the Thoughts and Courage of seeking out other Arts, and applying themselves to them.
