The Three Principles of Architecture by Vitruvius In the labyrinth of human creation, there is a profound set of principles that span centuries and echo through the history of architecture. At the heart of this architectural philosophy stands the renowned Roman architect Vitruvius, whose masterpiece De Architectura, written in the first century BC, presented three timeless principles that continue to guide and inspire architects till today: Firmitas, Utilitas, and Venustas.
