Charles Bohl writes: "That we are so removed from the living traditions
of our ancestors - of the human traditions -- in architecture, town
building and place making is the truly worrisome thing, as these
traditions were rooted in five millennia of human experience and
timeless concepts such as human scale, and the Vitruvian principles of
firmness, commodity and delight."
Someone smarter than me must have answered this already: is it a
conundrum, or just a cavil, that Vitruvius would have opted for
aluminum-siding, air conditioning, dryvit and shopping centers. Or
wouldn't he have?
