ScienceList by author Theme Description From systems of proportion used by Vitruvius to the first sectional drawings in the Renaissance, from the influence of physiognomic studies in the French Academy to the recent appropriations of genetics and informations systems, 'science' has long been a source of architectural theory and composition. The ways in which science is 'added' to architecture varies from the literal to the metaphorical, providing legitimation for both its technological and symbolic aspects.
