Corinthian OrderThe Corinthian order is the last developed of the three principal classical orders of ancient Greek and Roman architecture. The other two are the Doric order which was the earliest, followed by the Ionic order.

It is not part of the order of the temple itself, which has a Doric colonnade surrounding the temple and an Ionic order within the cella enclosure.
A single Corinthian column stands free, centered within the cella.

It begs the question…
Who tried to codify those [Classical architecture]?

Marcus Vitruvius Pollio
a Roman author, architect, civil engineer and military engineer during the 1st century BC
![Page 22: HISTORY: Roman Architecture (Vitruvius and the 1st Metaphysics)](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062218/5879996d1a28ab95318b710f/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Marcus Vitruvius Pollio
Vitruvius served as an artilleryman, the third class of arms in the military offices.
He probably served as a senior officer of artillery in charge of doctores ballistarum (artillery experts) and libratores who actually operated the machines.

How did Vitruvius codify?

How did Vitruvius codify?
De architectura (On Architecture)also known as Ten Books on Architecture
![Page 27: HISTORY: Roman Architecture (Vitruvius and the 1st Metaphysics)](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062218/5879996d1a28ab95318b710f/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

De architectura
is a treatise on architecture written by the Roman architect and military engineer Marcus Vitruvius Pollio and dedicated to his patron, the emperor Caesar Augustus, as a guide for building projects.
![Page 29: HISTORY: Roman Architecture (Vitruvius and the 1st Metaphysics)](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062218/5879996d1a28ab95318b710f/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Book 3 - Temples and the orders of architecture
Vitruvius also studied human proportions (Book III) and his canones were later encoded in a very famous drawing by Leonardo da Vinci (Homo Vitruvianus, "Vitruvian Man").

“Proto-Standardization”

What are the greatest legacy of this book to the discipline of architecture?
I. Vitruvius sought to address the ethos of architecture, declaring that quality depends on the social relevance of the artist's work, not on the form or workmanship of the work itself.
![Page 34: HISTORY: Roman Architecture (Vitruvius and the 1st Metaphysics)](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062218/5879996d1a28ab95318b710f/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
II. Vitruvius started defining the world using his knowledge in “building” things, and it turns out to be what Eisenman (2013) calls the first metaphysics.
![Page 35: HISTORY: Roman Architecture (Vitruvius and the 1st Metaphysics)](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062218/5879996d1a28ab95318b710f/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
III. Perhaps the most famous declaration from De architectura is one still quoted by architects: "Well building hath three conditions: firmness, commodity, and delight."

“Architecture is a transformation of precedence…” (Eisenman, 2013)
/ˈpresədəns,prēˈsēdns/ the order to be ceremonially observed by people of different rank, according to an
acknowledged or legally determined system.
![Page 48: HISTORY: Roman Architecture (Vitruvius and the 1st Metaphysics)](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062218/5879996d1a28ab95318b710f/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
it is the architect who defines the world around him/ her.”
“…if you have aProject

“it depends not [on] your talent or intelligence but it depends on how you see yourself in your world and why you’re doing it. If you’re here to save the world, I’m not sure you have a Project. If you’re interested in sustainability, that’s not a project.
A Project involves the discipline of architecture; being able to define the world as we see it and being able to be a critical resonance on that definition - any Project is always a critique of the status quo of the discipline. So therefore a Project is always in some way political, ideological, intellectual, [and] etc.”

If you think about it…
While Vitruvius was Roman.
His ideal was Greek.

“Greek” idea of architecure
• Rigid inherence to proportions, orders, etc.

Dialogue between Roman & Greek architecture
• Frontal relationship to the subject to the object.
• The other dealt with the Human subject into the 45 degrees.

Classical Architecture, while a discipline of architecture hinged on symbols, must be further classified
by differing Roman & Greek Architecture.
