The work goes over some characteristic phases of the history of constructions pointing out the so-called ethic of construction: the balance relationships between the various components of the building process. At the same time, the influence of the mathematical language in the process of architecture design is investigated. From the beginning, around the XVI and XVII century with the first drawings made by the renaissance architects, passing through the period of the birth of the Science of Structural Mechanics up to the present time, in which the non-linear geometry with the help of modern software leads the choices of the designers. In a period in which the architecture seems to release from the structural component of the Vitruvian triad (firmitas) it becomes important to make recall to t...

Within such framework, types of urban hygiene are defined and described. In particular, the General Regulatory Plan of the City of Rome has established that areas and facilities for separate collection of waste belong to the secondary urbanization works to be identified by executive planning, as well as for temporary collection, compacting and conveying inert and bulky waste.

Through the analysis of some noteworthy architectural examples, we highlight the reasons for which their designers achieved a virtuous equilibrium between shape, design and constructive awareness. In a contemporary era in which the major architectural production seems more interested to show off and amaze the spectators with huge scales and charming contaminations from the entertainment industry, a call for the need of the Vitruvian lesson appears essentials: the more we push our creativity as designers, the more we need to keep it firmly stick to the principles of firmitas, utilitas and venustas.
