Does the building in the modern day follow the Vitruvius principle?
According
to Vitruvius, a good building should have three certain principles which are Durability,
Utility and Beauty. Then the can break down into, Order, Arrangement, Eurhythmy,
Symmetry, Propriety, and Economy. An example of a good building following this
principle is the Temple of Parthenon. The
temple is well-known as it was designed by using mathematical equation to
create eurhythmy. Every podium in the Temple of Parthenon was arranged
to create a symmetrical shape and represented to the brave spirit of Greek
people. Comparing to a modern building such as Guggenheim museum by Frank
Gehry, the building have nothing according to the Vitruvius principle of
design. It has no symmetrical order neither arranging order nor propriety. The
concept of Guggenheim museum came from a piece of squeezed paper in Frank
Gehry’s hand. However the building was famous because of its role. The
magnificent that it provides is an abstraction which is people in the modern
day pay attention to. Therefore people believe in creativity and none alike.
Still, there are some buildings in the modern days that follow the Vitruvius
principle and become popular such as World Trade Centre with its outstanding height.
