Historia de  la Construcción



Los hombres . . . teniendo por naturaleza, a diferencia de los otros animales, el no caminar inclinados a la tierra, sino rectos y elevados para ver la magnificencia del cielo y astros; como también, hallándose aptos con sus manos y articulaciones para tratar fácilmente cuanto querían, empezaron unos a disponer sus techados de ramas.

Otros a cavar cuevas a la raíz de los montes. Algunos imitando los nidos de las golondrinas y su estructura, con barro y lodo hicieron donde guarecerse.

Otros finalmente, que observaban estos abrigos, adelantando un poco mas sus invenciones, iban de día en día erigiendo menos mal arregladas chozas: así, que siendo aquellos hombres de imitadora y dócil naturaleza, gloriándose cada día de sus invenciones, se enseñaban unos a otros las nuevas formas de las casas que levantaban; y ejercitándose los ingenios en estas emulaciones, las iban de grado en grado mejorando de gusto.

 

Vitruvio II, I, “Del principio de los edificios” (Texto: Ortiz y Sanz 1787; Ilustración: Walter Rivius, Vitruvius Teutsch. Nürnberg1548).
