Vitruvius was a Roman architect, engineer, and writer who lived in the 1st century BC. He is best known for his book De architectura, which is a ten-volume treatise on architecture. In this book, Vitruvius laid out the three principles of good architecture:

• Firmitas (firmness, durability) means that a building must be structurally sound and able to withstand the elements. It must also be durable enough to last for many years.
• Utilitas (commodity, utility) means that a building must be functional and meet the needs of the people who use it. It should be well-designed and easy to use.
• Venustas (delight, beauty) means that a building should be pleasing to the eye. It should have a good aesthetic appearance and create a sense of harmony and balance.

These principles are often referred to as the Vitruvian Triad.​
​Vitruvius believed that all three of these principles are essential for good architecture. A building cannot be truly great if it is not structurally sound, functional, and beautiful.
This Vitruvian Triad has been the secret sauce behind many architectural wonders, from the grandeur of the Parthenon to the breathtaking beauty of the Taj Mahal.
