The earliest written work on the subject of architecture is De architectura libri decem (= ten books about architecture), by the Roman architect Vitruvius in the early 1st century CE. According to Vitruvius a good building should satisfy the three principles of firmitas, utilitas, & venustas, which translates roughly as :

• durability - it should stand up robustly and remain in good condition
• utility - it should be useful and function well for the people using it
• beauty - it should delight people and raise their spirits

According to Vitruvius, the architect should strive to fulfil each of these three attributes as well as possible.


"De Architectura" is a pool of international architects and bau-biologists  who are concerned with creating "healthy spaces". This consulting company is engaged in bio-architecture in nature in harmony with nature by means of natural and healthy building materials and bau-biologic and Vastu prinicples.
Directing architect is Mayank Barjatya in Pune/India.

He says “It was difficult initially to convince developers and builders to provide healthy spaces to their customers as the major amenity rather than give them Wi-Fi digital networks and concrete roads. But slowly as health issue from poisonous homes has been felt and education level of habitants have increased, I am now happy that my clients ask for healthy building materials, vastulogical designs and more natural lifestyle than plastic and air-conditioned environment”.

Economics and cost of this natural design & healthy building which utilizes solar radiations, cross air ventilation and neighborhood building materials is 12-15 % less than conventional RCC construction with saving of natural energies in tune of 20%, thus contributing in re-creating a better world for our children.
