Marcus Vitruvius Pollio (80 BC-after 15 AC)

Marcus Vitruvius Pollio, born in 80 BCE, was a Roman architect, engineer, and author. He is best known for his ten-volume treatise De Architectura, which is considered to be the first written work on the subject of architectural theory and practice. iIt is considered to be one of the most influential works of architecture. In it, Vitruvius outlines his theories of symmetry, proportion, and harmony in architecture and engineering, which were heavily influenced by the ancient Greeks and Egyptians.
