Marcus Vitruvius Pollio's "Ten Books on Architecture" is the most complete treatise on the subject of architecture from antiquity and for hundreds of years influenced major buildings around the world. Dating to the first century B.C., the "Ten Books on Architecture" are not only an excellent historical reference into ancient construction methods and aesthetics but also a manual providing much that can be applied to modern architecture. Today's architect will find much of interest in this fully illustrated reproduction of the 1914 edition translated by Morris Hicky Morgan.
Ten Books on Architecture Illustrated edition by Vitruvius Pollio Literature Fiction eBooks
I recommend this book for all architecture students for their early college curriculum. This issue is a value reprint with low quality illustrations of a early 20th century translation. Amazing who many Wikipedia articles refer to this text and the extent of technology developed in the first century and lost and rediscovered over a thousand years later.Product details

Ten Books on Architecture Illustrated edition by Vitruvius Pollio Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
This book was part of a Christmas gift for our grandson, who recently told us he is enjoying the book.
A wonderful book to read about foundation values of classical architecture and includes many interesting stories and side tangents by the author. I you are studying architecture you need to read this book!
Very informational and quite candid, funny how Roman's thought that being an architect took little knowledge. Quote from the book,"If thy son be dull witted make him a page or an architect ".
If you know about this book(s) or the author, you probably don't need to be told it's a must read. Though if you are beginning in the field, the text can be hard to grasp at times (it does help to have some background in Roman history and architecture to really appreciate this book, as there are no footnotes to provide this extra information).
As for the electronic edition itself, it is somewhat poorly executed. Some characters were wrongly read by the OCR machine. It doesn't imper the reading much, but some more careful editing would have been welcomed, especially since the text can be found elsewhere for free.
Overall, I would be searching for another electronic copy of Vitruvius' works.
For a serious student of architecture this excellent "history" value of "why" style, technics, etc., that we use today have developed.
Love it. I’m not an architect and I enjoyed the read very much. Vitruvius was an interesting dude.
I am of the age group that had had rigorous courses through eight years of European "Gimnazium" type high schooling. I found the book very interesting, giving an insight of Roman construction methods and materials. I would have been happier if the book were bilingual.
I recommend this book for all architecture students for their early college curriculum. This issue is a value reprint with low quality illustrations of a early 20th century translation. Amazing who many Wikipedia articles refer to this text and the extent of technology developed in the first century and lost and rediscovered over a thousand years later.
