We chose the name ‘Vitru’ for one of our clients who is in the business of 3D architectural rendering and animation services. It was a unique naming experience that gave way to several insights and possibilities.

The name ‘Vitru’ is derived from two geniuses, Marcus Vitruvius Pollio who was called the world’s first architect and Leonardo Da Vinci who proposed the ‘Vitruvian Man’.

Vitruvius was an architect and engineer who also penned the treatise that is today known as the ‘ten books of architecture’. He worked on just one building, a basilica at Fanum Fortunae or Fano as it is called now. But he left behind him a treasure of architectural knowledge.

Leornado Da Vinci drew the ‘Vitruvian Man’, a wondrous architectural portrayal of the human body. It is not just a unique perspective in architecture but holds significance in several other ways. The name ‘Vitru’ is also a tribute to this symbolisation of man by Da Vinci, that has found usage in many places.

‘Vitru’ is architecture in a 360 degrees perspective – a combination of theory (Vitruvius) and art (Leonardo). It is all about how the theory of architecture complements the craft and alternately how art inspires the technology, time and again.
