	Taming the Winds
		Vitruvius studied the winds in the hope of designing the most consumer-friendly city, which would be constructed in such a way as to exclude all draughts, thus making it a healthy place to live (see below, 4.7).
		His findings, collected in the De Architectura, include an octagonal wind-rose that follows the Tower of the Winds in Athens, built by Andronicus of Cyrrhus.
		This wind-rose (fig.128) utilises the sun for its calculations, like the Aristotelian model, but the result is somewhat different as the Vitruvian method relies on the shadows cast by the sun on a sun-dial rather than on the hypothetical line of the equinoctial sunrise and sunset.
