Abstract
The issue of rationality is recurrent in Architecture from the writings of Vitruvius. Architecture has always been linked to reason (mathematical proportions, harmony, Geometry, etc.). Around 1750 and after the emergence of modern engineers as an independent profession of architecture, who based his designs on scientific computing, the architecture seems to lose control of ‘rational’. By the mid-nineteenth century, Viollet-le-Duc as a paradigm, the architecture on an interference claim its structural rationality not reduced to the calculation. This article examines the issue of reason in the theories of modern architecture through three landmark texts that characterized different times, where they revive various aspects of the Vitruvian triad. The first, Entretiens sur l’architecture by Viollet-le-Duc, second, Vers une architecture of Le Corbusier and the third, Gli elementi dell’architettura funzionale by Sartoris.
