Approximately 2, 025 years ago, a Roman architect named Vitruvius wrote down on ten scrolls everything he knew about architecture. This book presents a new translation of the five books most relevant to contemporary architecture and new drawings and watercolors that illustrate his methods of proportion and composition.

This volume contains the five books most relevant to contemporary architecture: photographs of ancient structures from Greece, Italy, and Turkey, related sculptures, frescoes, and reliefs, hypothetical re-creations of Vitruvius's now-lost illustrations, and a series of exquisitely rendered watercolor plates based on his descriptions.
