Vitruvius Britannicus, or The British Architect is a 1717 architectural survey published in London by Colen Campbell, presenting plans, elevations and sections of Britain's public and private buildings for builders and patrons. Its pictures are measured engraved elevations of large classical facades, with rows of windows, pedimented centres and rusticated bases, offering a designer strong symmetrical grids and classical ornament to borrow.
