The design and and building of Verbonia used both intelligence and physical strength. The design and building used intellegence to create a design that would allow the citizen to have more freedoms when building. The building required both intelligence and physical strength to build the buildings to keep the structures strong and safe. Also, the building of Venbonia used intelligence and physical strength to create the materials.

The design and building used intelligence and physical strength to measure the buildings. According to Building a Roman City, "The engineers worked throughout winter measuring, designing, and drawing." This shows that the engineers needed intelligence to measure the amount of room they had and what their design could look like using the requirements they had to follow. Also, according to …show more content…
In the text David Macaulay states, "The skilled laborers cut, polished, or carved inscriptions in the stone. The unskilled workers seperated and lifted the huge blocks from the earth." This shows that the workers had to use physical strength to move the blocks and intelligence to cut and polish the stone. David Macaulay also states, "The clay, dug out of large pits in the ground, was formed into standard shapes and sizes using wooden molds." This shows that the workers used physical strength to dig the clay out of the large pits.

The building used intelligence to create the materials nessisary to build the structures. David Macaulay sates, "The materials used most in the construction of Verbonia were stone, clay, mortar, and wood." This shows that the materials would need to be produced using intelligence to obtain the materials. He also states, "The mortar used between bricks and stones and in concrete was a mixture of sand, lime (a powder obtained by buring limestone), and water." This shows that building used intelligence by knowing how to get a
