Descrição: Simon Stevin's treatise Onderscheyt vande oirdeningh der steden (published posthumously in 1649) has traditionally been seen as a description of the domestic culture of the burgher-merchant as it developed in seventeenth-century Holland. In this view, his comments on familial practices are interpreted as indicative of architecture's responses to a growing desire for privacy, strong individualism, and distinct middle-class identity. Analysis of Stevin's writings within the European tradition of architectural thought suggests, however, that he was primarily concerned with the most 'natural' disposition of the house, rather than the ways in which the house may seem to track modern psycho-social changes. In his preoccupation with nature, Stevin revived classical notions of architectural and civic decorum, but recast them in terms that allowed him to promote contemporary valuations of dignified bearing, balanced mental disposition, and harmonious composition.
