What geometry in the early history of architecture?

Imagem colocada

"It is commonly said that Euclidean geometry played a large part in the development of architecture, but is this really true? An examination of the two earliest and best known treatises of architecture, 'On architecture' by Vitruvius and the 'Sketchbooks' of Villard de Honnecourt reveal no trace of Euclid's Elements. What role did geometry actually play for architects of ancient Rome and the medieval? What role does it play for architects today?"
