ARCHITECTURAL INTERIORS
His famous architectural work Vitruvius Basilica in Fano, Italy, left me with full admiration.
He was the one who designed and supervised the construction of this basilica. However, many of the
other things he did would not now be considered the realm of architecture. But for me, it was
remarkable and divine. He applied his own Theory of Architecture in this masterpiece where he
utilized his beliefs in drawing, geometry, optics (lighting), history, philosophy, music, theatre,
medicine, and law. It is very phenomenal to witness his designs and ideas that made a huge impact in
the field of architecture. His discussion of perfect proportion in architecture and the human body
paved the way to many remarkable constructions and designs of buildings in the world.
In conclusion, The Vitruvian Theory of Architecture have a vital impact in creating the
standard or quality of architecture to design and plans by means of applying symmetrical proportions
in design. This is the same theory behind architectural design today that architects apply. Whereas,
our intrinsic sense of what we consider beautiful may come from symmetry and proportion. Through
this, it emphasizes the importance and the role of Vitruvian theory in terms of designing different
types of building.
