Ten books about architecture. Vitruvius

“Ten Books on Architecture” were created by Vitruvius in the 1st century BC, more than two thousand years ago. Our contemporary, reading this text, makes a kind of time in time: he can feel like an educated Roman, which is complete without the help of a computer (and even a compass) and at the same time manages to equip the world around himself sensibly and reasonably, relying on the experience of his predecessors accumulated by centuries of observation For nature, behind the movement of the planets.

Despite the solid age, “Ten Books on Architecture” continue to attract readers, each of which finds something valuable for himself on these pages.
