The film proposal is for a small, artistic, Indie drama film. The movie is directed towards future architects just like Vitruvius’ writing. The film would copy the message in De Architectura and tell about the importance of Architects and what an Architect should know. It would be a movie that professors require first year architecture students to watch. It would be educational and provide an entertaining way to learn about the impact of architecture on society. 3.
The movie takes place in 12 AD Rome and in 2016 at the University of Cincinnati. 12 AD is a time that Vitruvius would have been alive and Augustus would have been emperor. It’s a time before De Architectura was completed so that the lessons Vitruvius learns in the modern world could influence the collection of writing. This will help preserve the modern thoughts on architecture in classical times and push forth innovation years in advance. This plays on the fact that Vitruvius’ writings were conservative at the time and his dislike of

The film plays off of this and the plot consists of convincing him to not be so conservative. We are dependent almost solely on his own writing to know what he was like as a person. The film takes place only a few years before his death and he is depicted as old and wise. De architectura had little significance at it’s time of writing but with his new understanding on contemporary architecture it would become very popular and not be lost for hundreds of years like it was. To modernize the literature I have Vitruvius apply his theories to modern times. The genre of the original text was not a drama, but anything can be made into a narrative. To do that there is a lot of other dialogue besides just direct quotes from Vitruvius’ writing. It would be a boring film to just watch a series of lectures so there needed to be entertaining elements of time travel, violence, stealing, competition,

The appreciation of art: taking in what is in front of oneself by analyzing the many facets that are intricately placed in a sculpture, painting or anything that is to be considered art; within this paper will be explained the three subjects, analysis, content, and function of Volaire’s work on The Eruption of Mount Vesuvius that allow one to have a true appreciation for the arts. It is through these three subjects that one can see how valuable art truly is. Without these subjects all is lost and the woman without a grasp of them is ignorant of a great chunk of the world around her for it is indeed true that art is all around us. The artists that paint, and sculpt, see this natural beauty and replicate it through the many mediums available to them, giving us eternal beauty that can be held onto forever. Volaire has done that with his piece dealing with Mount Vesuvius.
Trissino became Palladio’s mentor and patron. Seeing Palladio as a man with great spirit and exceptional aptitude for science and mathematics, Trissino also encouraged Palladio to study humanist values, such as the arts, music, and philosophy. In fact, at this time, “music was the principal art” (Tavernor, 1991, p. 20). It was also at this time that Trissino began to introduce Palladio to the works and teachings of Vitruvius, a Roman architect, writer, and civil engineer of the 1st Century B.C.E. Vitruvius had urged that art should reflect nature, “For Nature leads to Beauty, which is fundamental to the practice of architecture, once Utility and Strength have been achieved in a building” (Tavernor, 1991, p. 12)
By Vitruvius emphasizing this, it makes the house reach its most potential and usefulness for the people living there. In volume seven, he accentuates the importance of sharing knowledge with others. This is something that makes Vitruvius unique since he wanted to pass along procedures to better society. He then shares the procedures for how he does wall paintings by using lime, stucco, pigments, and plastic. Vitruvius shared his recipe so that people could continue to use it in the
The late August day that had started like any other took a turn for the worst when a large, strange cloud darkened the sky over the towns near Mount Vesuvius. The cloud was a result of an eruption of Vesuvius that came to be known as one of the deadliest eruptions ever.
Mount Vesuvius is one of the most well know volcanoes in the world. This massive volcano is located over looking the Bay of Naples, in the region of Campania, in Italy. Vesuvius is 4190-feet high and is made up of layers of lava flows, volcanic ash and cinders. It is considered one of the most deadly volcanoes in the world and is the most densely populated volcanic region in with millions of people living close to the crater. Vesuvius is a stratovolcano and is the only active volcano in mainland Europe. Mount Vesuvius has produced some of the continent’s largest eruptions.
The story of the book takes place in 1813, the time when the book was first published. The time frame of the movie is the late 18th century.
Furthermore, Mount Vesuvius is rich in history and detail to be and learned from the age of the volcano to the types of rocks that can be found around and inside the walls of the volcano. Mount Vesuvius is a volcano located in near one of Italy’s largest Naples overlooking the bay. It is the only active volcano in Europe at this time that has produced a series of eruptions before the infamous eruption in 79A.D. to its last eruption in 1944.
In ancient Rome, architecture and engineering were highly regarded. It contributed much to Rome’s development, power, as well as the longevity of such an immense and substantial empire. Architecture displayed an immense amount of workmanship as well as innovation. This is seen through Rome engineers as they created the concept of concrete, constructed the famous Roman aqueducts, and the luxurious Roman baths. Roman’s were clearly superior engineers compared to their competitors because Roman engineers developed new and innovative concepts that were never introduced before, therefore contributing to the success of the Roman Empire.
Two of the most important developments which were unique to Roman architecture were that of the use of the arch and concrete. Although not having invented any of these facets of architecture, Romans managed to expand their use in such a way that it became popular in Roman history as a staple of their architectural style.
As the saying goes “Rome wasn’t built in a day,” however long it took to build the capital, the days, months, years, centuries of work can be viewed as a long lasting landmark which paved the way for new and challenging architecture to come (How Roman architecture influenced modern architecture [sa]). According to Tony Rook (2013: [sp] ch.2) the typical Roman temple shows the Etruscan tradition combined with the Greek one. Although some of their premature concepts were acquired from the ancient Greeks and Egyptians, Roman architects transformed the body of architecture for all time to come, offering buildings and structures that has never been before, along the side of public buildings and infrastructure that could be used by
The film is set in the Caesar period, at the end of the reign of Marco
Which of the Two Supernatural Short Stories to Suggest? In recent endeavors in American Literature II, we, as a class, have encountered two Ghost, or supernatural, short stories: Edith Wheaton’s “The Lady’s Maid’s Bell” and Mary E. Wilkins Freeman’s “The Lost Ghost.” Both of these stories, in my opinion, were well written and quite pleasant. But, if I were ever to be in a situation where I could only suggest one story, for whatever circumstance that might be, which of the two stories would I recommend?
Not all civilizations were built along a river Rome was one of them. Each civilization has characteristics and they are religion, cities, government, social, art and architecture, intellectual, public works, and geography. There are six different civilizations Rome, Greece, Mesopotamia, China, Egypt, and Indus Valley.Rome is comparable to the other civilizations. It has its own characteristics like every other civilization. The characteristics in this paper are geography, intellectual, and religion.
