Week 1 Response

If I were to rank the Vitruvius’ Triad in order from most important to least important between firmitatis (stability), utilitatis (utility), and venustatis (beauty), I would have firmitatis as the most important. This is because without stability, buildings and structures would easily collapse. The second most important is venustatis, this is because in architecture, beauty is very important and it draws people in to look at all of the detail in a certain building. The least important would have to be utilitatis because a building with no beauty or stability would just be a boring building.
