Attributed to a member of the Original Treatise Written by Sangallo family Marcus Pollio Vitruvius (Florence, ca. 1530-1545 Roman, active late 1st century B.C.)
"Nothing requires the architect's care more than the due proportions of buildings.”
~ Marcus Vitruvius Pollio
“The problem of architecture has always been the same throughout time. Its authentic quality is reached through its proportions, and the proportions cost nothing. In fact, most of them are proportions among things, not the things themselves. Art is almost always a question of proportions.”
~Ludwig Mies van der Rohe
