The Ten Books on Architectureis written byMarcus Vitruvius Pollio, an author of Roman Origin, an architect and engineer who has served as artilleryman in the military offices.
Probably the only surviving book on architecture from classical antiquity, this treatise on architecture states that a structure must exhibit the three qualities – it must be useful, solid and beautiful. The author states architecture is an imitation of nature, as birds built their nests human constructed houses from natural materials.
